our domestic cnn isn't bad... cnn international is just awful. while traveling in japan and europe i was embarrassed to watch their coverage. bbc isn't the baseline for sober journalism that some people claim it to be... but if bbc reports something i consider it to be generally reliable.
i'll treat any developed story from a major news source as reliable. i do, however, have trouble stomaching some of the "news" stories cited with partisan motives. it's just not in me to rely on a story from
www.marxgivesmeahardon.com or
www.bloggingforrubyridge.com If you want a story to be given serious debate from this TFP'er... usually you'll have to wait till it appears in the mainstream.
