I remember watching CNN once upon a time too. I can't imagine doing it today. Not so much because it is propaganda (although that is also bad) but the hysterical, rage-fed neurosis radiating out of it.

I started out wanting to be a print journalist. Television has always seemed to be for slow people to me. It's a bias and bigotry, I admit, but I can't sit still for that jive. WSJ is still good, NYT is great for human interest stories, NPR has the best format, buuuut I mostly read Science Direct, NY Post, and the Daily Fail.

I can still enjoy some of what Financial Times, Deutsche Welle, and the Indian news services write as well.

I used to listen to NPR because the format is the best of all forms of radio at this point.
Then their Katrina coverage contradicted what I was seeing unfold in front of my eyes, and I realized they lie as much as Pravda.
