Let's not kid ourselves into thinking that papers such as the NY Times or Boston Globe don't pull (or bury) stories that don't slant their way (liberal) or that FOX news doesn't pull stories that don't slant their way (conservative).
A well educated person knows the scoop and will search for the info from all sides to formulate an opinion.
Sometimes i like just reading the club newsletter as long as they don't slip in a pack of kool-aid!

Good point, Russ Boston. I usually Google things to get all kinds of angles on a certain subject. Speaking of the media, I post on Findlaw a lot and they have a Findlaw's Writ which various legal nabobs write articles on but it is usually very liberal in outlook as are many law schools throughout the country. It is usually very anti-Bush, pro women's choice on abortion, and against religion's entanglement with various aspects of US life.
