Ahh the stench of enlightened right-wing opinion.
I assumed that site was a parody until I looked closer.

Am I just really gullible and is this whole World Tribune thing a joke?

well... i don't know if it's real or not, but it is certainly a joke.

it's not so ~right wing~ as it is plain stupid and inflammatory.  i would not claim to be politically aligned with this mindless drivel

they failed to mention the constant parade of microsoft viruses... well i guess it just goes without saying.

Of course it's right wing. I can't count the number of times the dickheads writing for this site have used the word 'leftist' as if it's an insult.

Look at this shit:

"Torvalds, the son of socialist Finnish radio commentator Nils Torvalds who often sided with Soviet leadership in world matters during the Cold War, was a computer science student at a university in Helsinki."

Oh, so it was Torvalds' wicked socialist father who taught him the leftist principles of equality and bettering society through freedom of information? The evil bastard.
