"You want the truth! You can't handle the truth! No truth handler you! Bah! I deride your truth handling abilities!" - Sideshow Bob
You know what? I stopped reading and watching the news a few years ago. I think the thing that pushed me over the edge was the re-election of GWB. I simply can't stand US coverage of international events.
I was in Charlotte last week and sat around with some like-minded individuals, one from the UK and others from various blue states around the country. We all started discussing how uninformed Americans are, and how our media contributes greatly to this ignorance. I can't stand watching the Conservative Media anymore and long for the days of real insight and analysis without White House spin.
Today, I decided to go read the Guardian, a news site out of the UK. I found a wonderful article that isn't afraid to call out Israel on their actions against Lebanon. I actually found myself engrossed in the article - a testament to the quality of writing as well as the content. I might have to start reading the news again.
