We need a list of names! Pronto!

This petition, while admirable in its call for a ‘peaceful resistance’, is nonetheless politically motivated and biased. As such, a ‘reputable’ news source such as NOW! Lebanon shouldn’t post a prominent link to it on their website with no commentary, no reference, no nothing. They just post it, as is. So in effect the statements made in this petition are NOW! Lebanon’s statements.

Incidentally, after scanning the list of petitioners at the bottom, something odd caught my attention. First, the names are numbered. This leads one to assume that the names are entered in the same order that these people decided to sign their support for the statement. But do you notice anything else about the list? Some order to the chaos? If you don’t see it, you may as well sign up as a NOW! Lebanon editor.

NOW! Lebanon, where do you get your funding?
