All I know is that Fox News is the least biased of any government supporting news organization.
Wait, shit...
All I know is it seems like even just the context supplied is designed for manipulation. It seems like the only way to have an idea of what's going on is to disregard all but primary sources and work from there. I mean the actual reports, people who're actually there, etc. I think the great myth of our times is that the media is something that you can trust at least a little. I think the Iraq War is a pretty good example of the media's ability to manufacture consent. I figure "BUying the War" will probably contain interesting stuff and will be watching it, thanks for the heads up.
