What they say about one source of info is true. Its hard to find truly unbiased, objective info. I go to many many sites whjen something is going on and I want the whole enchilada.
Here is a good place to start from google with some a few the largest mass outlets out there: Google's News Links For more progressive and left leaning news I hit: http://www.truthout.com/ http://www.commondreams.org/index.htm http://www.thenewrepublic.com/ I follow up on the conservative right's POV too and find plenty of that slant covered by the WSJ, Faux, MSNBC and most of my radio stations. |

Anyways, I hit CNN, MSNBC then FoxNEWS, then I check left and right wing sites on the web. I don't mind getting information from BBC and Sky as well. I'd never get news from Pravda, as they state they literally are biased towards Russia. I don't trust govt-run news agencies too much, so I'm a little skeptical of Pravda and the BBC. |

go to the internet
Apart from Mother Jones, The Nation, The Progressive and a very few others (all pretty low circulation), US news media are owned by about 5 huge conglomerates and are uniformly right-wing and pro-war.
They constitute a Ministry of Propaganda for Bush. For alternatives, go the internet. Start with www.buzzflash.com Then www.commondreams.org Next. www.zmag.org Then wwwlguerillanews.com And of course, www.motherjones.com And, [url]www.thenation.com The first two in particular will give you a wealth of articles from all over the world. You will see the US as other nations see us, and know why we have gone, in a mere 19 months, from being universally sympathized with over 9/11, to universally (and rightly) distrusted, despised, feared. |
