IPS mentions Mercosur

after all my kvetching about u.s. media ignoring mercosur in their summit of the americas reporting, i find that the one media outlet that did mention them is - surprise, surprise - ips, based in rome...

(from their article on the summit...)

The member countries of Mercosur (Southern Common Market) - made up of Argentina, Brazil, Paraguay and Uruguay- recommend putting off further negotiations for the hemisphere-wide trade agreement until after the World Trade Organisation (WTO) ministerial summit to take place in December in Hong Kong, where further progress should be made in the Doha Round of talks on multilateral trade liberalisation.

i find ips news to be exceptionally high quality and full of interesting background that doesn't always appear in u.s. media... while they are rarely on top of breaking news, you can count on them to be in there later on with insightful stories... ips' mission...
