Real news is found in the alternative media, even places like Youtube provide things like PO video which interested people will track down and watch. Even if you want to be spoon fed the news there are few broadcast/cable sources to choose from compared to the Internet/www.

Real news is found with your own two eyes, ALL media distorts reality whether intentionally or not. Most reporter today have no real education at all, the don't undertand anything they're reporting on and even if they do try to write an accurate story 95 percent of the time they fail miserably. Most media inserts a conservative pro-religion pro-corporate profits slant, most "alternative" media inserts the opposite slant.

BTW, I do at least one interview a week with a print or TV reporter and get to watch what comes back in print or TV, I ain't talking out of my rear, I see it all the time.

I notice many articles, particularly on foxnews.com, where the headline is completely misleading.

The article itself will contain information that directly contradicts the headline.

I figure a large percentage of people browsing news websites don't actually read the story, they just read the headline and accept it.

It would be funny if the New York Times and Fox News weren't controlled by Al Qaeda.

I like how the news works in Russia.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'R')ussian journalist Anna Politkovskaya, a fierce critic of the war in Chechnya who was gunned down in her Moscow apartment block Saturday, was the latest investigative reporter to be killed in Russia. These are some of the murders of other reporters in recent years:

July 9, 2004: Paul Klebnikov, the U.S.-born editor of the Russian edition of Forbes who had been investigating the murky business world in Russia, is gunned down as he leaves his Moscow office. Two ethnic Chechens (lol) accused of carrying out the murder were acquitted earlier this year.

April 29, 2002: Valery Ivanov, editor of the newspaper Tolyatinskoye Oborzreniye in the southern city Russian city of Togliatti, is shot dead outside his home. The newspaper was well-known for its reports on local organized crime, drug trafficking and official corruption.

June 7, 1998: Larisa Yudina, editor of the opposition newspaper Sovetskaya Kalmykia in the southern Russian region of Kalmykia, is stabbed to death and her body dumped in a pond on the outskirts of the regional capital, Elista. Two men, both former government aides, were caught and convicted of murder.

March 1, 1995: Vladislav Listyev, executive director of the newly formed public television station ORT, is shot dead as he enters his apartment block. Listyev was one of Russia's best-known TV journalists. Some observers suspect his murder was connected to a controversy over whether to permit advertising on the new network.

Oct. 17, 1994: Dmitry Kholodov, an investigative reporter for the Moscow newspaper Moskovsky Komsomolets, is killed in a bomb blast at the newspaper's office. Kholodov, who had been investigating mafia connections with the military, was killed when he opened a briefcase he believed contained secret documents
