if you are looking for the truth to be handed to you, you will always come up short. news has become more opinion and less fact and since the sensational sells you will find only the sensational unless you are ready to put in the effort and give your grey matter a little work out. i usually keep a few standards in the line-up (drudge, NYT, BBC etc.) as well as a multitude of extremist and single issue sources. at present i keep track of two glbt sites, two right-wing christian sites, one neo-nazi site, al jazeera, an israeli news site and i usually keep prison planet in there for its comedic value. to keep a fresh view i replace each of the small fry occasionally. the point is that there is no source or group of sources that will give you even a glimmer of the truth, they all have something to sell, and that it is your opinion that counts. every account you read or hear or see is just someone else's spin. it is all just raw information, some true and others false, and you must form it into your own view of the world. the more sources the better and you'd be surprised at how much of this drivel you can soak up in just a couple of hours a day.

Where do I find reliable news?

From the guys that make the news not the ones that report it.

I assume we are talking about the war.

I was talking about world news from all perspectives. You have to listen to an Iraqi to know what an Iraqi thinks, a Pakistani, an Afghani, a Darfurian, etc. Thats how you figure out what is really up in the world. You can't just listen to the propaganda handed us by the likes of Fox, or CNN, or ABC, CBS, or NBC. listen to BBC, Link TV, Al Arabia, etc. Keep that mind open and learn. It's not all about the USA, We are less than 10% of the worlds population and want to control the world. There's something wrong with this picture.

I agree

In about 1958, the president of CBS said that his staff manipulated you, because of what they chose to put on TV. They had a very small format and could not really cover very much in the time available.
