It is very frustrating at times to see folks get their dander up and so emotional on subjects that they actually know very little about. Relying on one source, nor one media type, is not going to do it.

Knowledge is power as they say, and this internet thingie has a lot of downsides, but it sure gives you the opportunity to know things.

My other suggestion to folks is to make sure you check out both sides of a story and then go to the actual locale (city, country or whatever). Context can be provided with local reporting.

To add.....Al Jazeera has been a pleasant surprise to me.

I have adopted a cautioned "wait and see" attitude with regard to Al Jazeera. I will not be surprised to see a very gradual change in what appears to be unbiased reporting.
