although not exclusively govt controlled one has to read
a wide cross section to get fair representation of facts.
half the news on cnn are commercials in disguise (suggestions for Christmas shopping etc). You can still get the facts, eg. Newyorker,
(the coverage of the Gulf war was severely restricted, as was Panama etc. -)
and its skewed anyway, the newsmedia always referred to Lockerbie as the worst terrorist incident prior to 9/11 even though more people died in the AirIndia bombing in 1985 (but they dont count since theyre not Americans)
the 'friendly fire' killing of 4 canadian soldiers last april didnt even make the US news at the time, but the 'moron' comment did.
