Mike, you can learn alot watching BBC news channel, as well as Newsworld (CBC) from Canada... it is often startling to hear the difference in the story from the US and other places.
US news is alot more of opinion now, and alot less of actual news. It is as if people want to newspeople to do their thinking for them, and present them with a few "potentials" rather than thinking about it themselves. 24 hour news channels stuck to fill time have really turned into opinionated talking head time, which really does suck. I use to watch CNN a fair bit, now I almost never spend more than 10 minutes there to get a story and I'm done.
I probably will only tune back in when the bombs start dropping... even then...
Alex
