dolariAfter seeing yesterday's Speech from On High that passes for White House Press Briefings these days, I highly suggest you start getting your news from as many other news sources as possible.
Not because CNN, CBS News, MSNBC or the others aren't legitimate (Well, I know of one that isn't), but because they're based INSIDE the US.
BBC is your usual goto for these things, but there's also Al-Jazeera. Both are pretty excellent for a non-American viewpoint. The smaller news media of smaller different countries will also give you alternative viewpoints (and sometimes a little education of the world outside of the US as well).
They are all biased (yes, even the American ones were under more agreeable governments), the idea is to hear as many sides of the news and events, and decide your own truth from that.
Don't take anything at face value. A sphere is just a circle if you look at it from one point of view.
