| TEDtalksDirector | 30 November 2010 | http://www.ted.com 11-year-old Birke Baehr presents his take on a major source of our food -- far-away and less-than-picturesque industrial farms.

| US Zombie Empire: 54% of US federal tax dollars spent on military | |
| RussiaToday | 28 November 2010 | It will take a revolution to bring real change to the American political system -- that is the message Ted Rall is taking across the US to promote his new book The Anti-American Manifesto. The cartoonist and outspoken war critic calls for the fight for democracy to begin. (quote)The Anti-American manifesto is addressing the fact that neither the Democrats nor the Republicans are able or willing to address the biggest problems facing the US today, which are the economy, the environment, healthcare and the wars, Rall told RT. (quote)And now you have to ask yourself as an American do you want to tolerate the system that is unresponsive and not going to go anywhere or do you want to change it. The Anti-American Manifesto is not anti-American, it is anti the American government, or more specifically, this American government. We can do better and that's what I want to do.(end quote) Speaking on America's main problems, Ted Rall also touched upon aggression on state level based on the current global economic situation. | |

| Global warming tops Cancun summit | |
| AlJazeeraEnglish | 29 November 2010 | Experts believe 2010's severe weather changes hit the poorest communities around the world hardest. This is further evidence of the devastating effects of global warming. The Cancun UN climate summit will seek a commitment to keep global carbon dioxide emissions low, after the failure in the last climate meeting in Copenhagen. Though the challenges remain the same there are those who question whether the Cancun summit can combine mapping out a global vision on how to deal with climate change along with finding ways to pay for it.
