I'll one-up you Janie: On the handful (less than a handful) of incidents where I knew the facts underlying a news story, I was amazed at their (mainstream newspapers) inability to accurately report the facts, before any bias is added to that. I still am a news junkie, but from the perpective a whodunnit reader, faced with unreliable narration.

(I met Morris Dees briefly after a speech, once. Brave man.)
