If you want news sources other than being force-fed the standard mainstream media, it is in your best interests to avoid the Google news site (news.google.com). It’s attempting to be the 21st century version of Dan Rather on CBS. As you can see from the excerpt below (from this morning), the site is essentially a compendium of the standard tainted news sources – CNN, New York Times, Washington Post, Huffington Post, etc.
If you don’t want to contemplate issues on your own and you want someone to color the world for your senses, you might just as well just turn on the television and listen passively to Matt Lauer or Mika Brzezinski — everyone recognizes that these are honest and objective reporters [sarcasm].
