Absolutely on the mark, BBQman. Network news consists of telling us what they are going to tell us, then telling us, then telling us what they told us. All of which is interrupted with mindless commercials and capped with an over-animated, long winded weather report.
Print media includes an unabashed right wing Daily Sun plus the left leaning remainder.
I might try the Wall Street Journal.
