Discussion with Ralph, part 6

The American press corps is like a pack of sharks waiting to taste the slightest hint of blood so that they may splash it over the headlines the next day. Huntley, Brinkley and others are rolling over in their graves at what has become of american journalism. Republicans will claim the press has a liberal bias...I believe it does. Democrats point at Fox news and claim
that they are bending the truth to satisfy a narrow audience...they do.
Wake up and read the Wall street Journal or something with objective journalism.

I don't read the Journal - I don't know where one can find objective, unbiased information these days. What I try to do is listen to both sides and draw my own conclusion(s). I occasionally listen to right wing talk radio, and to left wing talk radio. They both disgust me, but I listen. I admit, I have become a Countdown regular, and I seldom watch Fox.

I use the net (sparingly), NPR (when I am in the car and it's on), the Australian Broadcasting Company (the Aussie PBS), and the Daily Show... The latter is not where I get my news, it's where I laugh at the blockbuster style of journalism and the ridiculousness (is that a word?) of politics. WLC.

Thank you wlc. Good choices. Others may wish to read english-language foreign newspapers on the web (MANY papers have an english web-page). Different view are held about American politics there. And the rest of the world worries about different things (not just soccer/futbol). And do they laugh at the ridiculousness of politics. In their own way.
