Remember when the News was about the News?
Now the News (broadcast) is about possibilities.
Now the news is about asking inane questions from unqualified but Slanted "pundits".
Today, you can go to the News for questions but why bother?
They Don't have the answers. Probably a never had it, never will, kind of thing.

What about the WEB?
There's a lot of "Stuff" out there.
Some of it Might be News
The 100 top newspaper sites are here:
http://refdesk.com/top100pap.html
You know, the New York Times, the Washington Post, the Wall Street Journal.
Some are still viable despite their owner's "news pedigree".
And what about RSS feeds?
That's how I get the BBC Podcasts (for a different perspective about what's happening in the states).
I listen on my PSP, I don't use an iPod, but it works too. Pretty much any portable MP3 player will work, and there you have it, the BBC telling you the News of the Day.
The BBC has a whole slew of BBC RSS FEEDS you can subscribe to with just a click of a button.
Click here for FEEDS to choose from:
If you look hard enough, beyond the broadcast "Sound and Fury", you can find "some" viable news sources.

A cliche phrase from my Philosophy Logic Days was: "Consider the Source."
Good Idea, that.
