Very good question Griz !!
When I am in the mood ( not often these days ) to try to see what may be going on in the world, I scan all 10 news channels .. ( FOX CBS NBC ABC CNN CNN ( H ) BBC PBS MSNBC and a couple of others...then I look on the web at maybe 15 or so places....then lastly, the newspaper ( ours is terrible )....it takes maybe an hour or so.....
When you do this, you begin to see how the "news" is manufactured, manipulated, homognized, and mostly distorted all to hell and back by just about everybody...
It is so bad now that CBS NBC and ABC have the SAME stories on at the SAME time many times, with almost the same words, while madly hawking prescription drugs and a bunch of other stuff for old farts like us... LOL
I only do this when I feeling good..sometimes I go for a week or more and don't read any newspapers or watch the news at all...
It doesn't help much either way..
All the best,
Larry
