Forest, best think you can do is click over to msnbc for a while, then over to cnn for a while, and then come back - you will get three sides of the story, and you can get a better idea what is really going on.
Each one has their "slant", once you learn to subtract that from the stories (by comparing the different sources) you will find you are better informed.
If you want a real laugh, watch Dan Rather and Tape the NBC nightly news... then compare them story for story. The slant is so obvious at times...
It is well known that I recommend "external" media - check out the BBC news channel from time to time... a very different view of things.

Good advice...and I agree with Peaches...there's always some bias involved...everybody's gotta stick their finger in the pie and spoil it in some way.
I don't trust the media. Period. Switching channels - and websites - for info is the best way to get the most well-rounded version of the story.
