Ditto for our local papers, <strong>The Philadelphia Inquirer </strong>and <strong>The Daily News</strong>. I do like <strong>The New York Post</strong> (they have the best sports pages around) and their political cartoons are hilarious. That said, I get most of my news from alternate media.

They were largely responsible for the legitimacy of the war--along with Colin Powell's dog & pony show at the UN. Papers do not have the revenues for investigative reporters anymore, so they don't actually have "sources." Step away from the Kool Aid--it rots the analytical brain.

Cable news is not news, just a series of talk shows...it's difficult to get the news & that's disconcerting. Most outlets focus on the same stories but with different spin. A war of the spinners & they pick the topics. Weird.

I was drinking a soda and now my screen is decorated and needs to be cleaned when I saw the picture of MSNBC Lollipop Guild. Those guys are hilarious. I think the same people who own the NYT's has to own the LAT's as well. This could pass for their job application. They've totally become worthless over the past couple years. I canceled my subscription to that mess during the primaries and want nothing more to do with them. You should really warn people when you link those outside links.
