I'd try for BBC then. Print news is always better though imo.

I didn't think you were seriously asking. In that case, nothing replaces learning the issues for yourself; stripping the news of commentary and genuinely looking at the facts in front of you. Once you can do that, you can watch any news source and get informed.The current flap with Russia is a prime example. Almost all Western news outlets were saying it was the Russians, almost completely ignoring the Georgian stupidity that preceded the invasion.

Print is good too but bias creeps there as well so really, nothing beats learning to sift the news yourself.

Made me think of George Carlin's Skit about electing a dead president.. Hilarious.

"Put a fuckin' dead guy in office, that'd scare the shit out of the Terrorists eh?"

I'm not surprised it exists, I knew that. The similarities between Fox News and the WWF (or whatever it is these days) just occurred to me. I almost get it now.

Almost.

Oh that they're both on t.v.? Yea you're just figuring that out you nincompoop?
