An information source admitting its own bias?
Looking for information on the Kingdom of Tonga ?
Tonga on the 'NET, qualified and biased information on the islands and peoples of the Kingdom of Tonga.

All right, so it's probably a typo, but... :D

Now that's a source I could trust. :p
Well, if the sources that claim to be unbiased so often are, maybe this one really is unbiased! :eek:

Honestly Ari, what were you doing surfing Tongan sites in the first place?
It's perhaps just a teensy bit unfair to take to task an independent web site written in someone's second language, as I'd expect you of all people to realise.
And besides, this http://www.pmo.gov.to/ is the official website of the Tongan government. Oh yes it is. It's just the place you need to go to to find out the latest on the rebuilding of Nuku’alofa after last year's riots.
You didn't know 75% of Tonga's capital burned to the ground during pro-democracy riots last November? People, where have you been? There was apparently an attempted coup during those riots, too. Or so the government claims. I tell you, forget Iraq - Tonga's where the action's at right now.

If they can admit that, they seem to be trustworthy.

Research.
Seriously. I'm working on identity issues in the Pacific. (So yes, I do check on the actual Tongan government website regularly, and I followed the November riots closely. Right before my attention was diverted to the December Fiji coup.)
I posted a link here in NSG to an article about the Nuku'alofa riots, as I recall...
