It's not >limited to Fox News and conservatives. 2 words: Dan Rather [TLB:] And European media are any better? Most European papers are unashamedly allied with a political party. IE ,the Irish "Independent", owned by Tony O'Rielly, and his political mouthpiece (after a long allegiance to Fine Gael, changing to Fianna Fail in the '90s); the Telegraph (often called the Torygraph), Le Figaro, which is UMP, Le Monde, which is PS; etc.
If anything, in the US, we only have one mouthpiece for the Republicans: Fox, whereas all the rest, to include the paid for with tax $ Public Broadcasting, is various flavors of Democrat. If you want to get real news, you have to read a variety of sources, all with a critical eye, and note where there's smoke, there usually is fire, but not always. Personally, I read The Economist for analysis, and get my news from CNBC, the WSJ, Al-Beeb (BBC), Le Figaro, Fox and CNN, and my local paper's on-line site. I get my tech news from IEEE journals, SecurityFocus, and ZDNet. _______________________________________________ Fun and Misc security discussion for OT posts. https://linuxbox.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/funsec Note: funsec is a public and open mailing list.
