Yeah, but reports from the military are from a different perspective.
Now if CNN was doing their damned job instead of giving us
newstainment (internewsment?), they'd be reporting a lot of different
perspectives.

All the US news networks suck. Fox probably sucks the most, but I've
never trusted them, giving their right-wing Aussie overlord. CNN
actually used to be reputable, so their fall into tabloid journalism
has really disappointed me. For international news, it seems that only
the Beeb is a decent source. Well, and NPR, but that is radio.

To bring this a little back on topic, where do TLUGgers get their world news?
