I read articles from Washington Post, Washington Times, MSNBC (avoid CNN as much possible), occasionally Fox News, NY Times, USA Today, WSJ if I get my hands on it and of course Drudge, Google News etc. Not to forget the Indian newspapers, BBC, occasional NRO etc. I have come to conclusion why likes of NYT, WP, BBC are really good only after reading through many of them.
PS: Why do you think Republican politicians right upto GW Bush suck up to the likes of liberal media and avoid right wing outlets (besides Fox News) as much possible? Did you know Michael Savage was foaming through his mouth because during Reagan mourning likes of Larry King were on center stage and Rush Limbaugh were not. Go figure!
EDIT: There used to be a media owner in India (Indian Express was one of the outlets) who believed that the media in general should be anti establishment. I concur. You should not rah rah the government, instead look where it is faltering, so that things can be corrected before it is too late. |
