Colin, do yourself a favor - watch some BBC news, some CBC news, and whatever other international news sources you can find - pick up english language editions of a foreign newspaper - find out what other people think, how the news is reported differently, and you will see a different world.
Living in Canada means I can watch news from at least four different countries (US, Canada, UK, and France) and the stories don't all play the same... it is interesting and it is an eye opener.

Alex, sigh. You really think you are the only Opranite that reads a variety of news sources? More elitism. I still disagree with your assessment. Mainstream news is pretty much the same everywhere. Some slant. Some rant. Reuters here. Reuters there. Reuters is really everywhere.
The alternative newspapers you read that were written by some guy from his basement in France that claim "America, the Fourth Reich?" certainly ARE "different". I know you read those, Alex. You've posted links to them here before. We remember!
Do you think "The Economist" is controlled by the white house when a Republican is president but suddenly switches to a non-state newspaper when a Democrat is elected? Do you think a NY Times writer that has voted Republican for 28 straight years is going to write pro-white house pieces when Bill Clinton is in the office?
