I think we're all doing more of that. I also like to look at the UK newspapers just to see what their take on us is (not good). Hell, I've seen the claim you can get more hard news off Al Jazerra than the US kept press. I don't understand all the handwringing over Rupert Murdoch buying the WSJ. Their editorial board had already drunk the kool-ade. So now we can just write off the news side, which _was_ good (and often an embarrasment to the Dr Evils on the ed board). So it joins Fox and the NY Post as "whadda ya expect?" journalism.
