Good points here. Sometimes I feel like the best information comes out of the op/ed section of major papers. The writers feel some pressure to be truthful, but their bias is out in the open. I especially watch the intelligent ones who piss me off the most, like Eric Alterman - then I follow up on what he says. You can learn a lot that way, and sometimes you'll even change your mind.
