I don't know how to do the link thing, but I use the Independent Media website:

www.indymedia.org/

along with international English language news organizations for my news and information.

American media coverage is too propagandistic and inaccurate.

Heh, GUEST's "news" site is a joke. Poorly written Israeli propaganda on what looks and works much like a 12-year-old girl's crappy Justin Timberlake fanpage.

And someone really should tell their "intelligence experts" that Nursultan Nazarbayev is the President of Kazakhstan, not Uzbekistan... ("The meeting was called by the Nursultan Nazerbayev of Uzbeksitan")

I'd delete my cookie in shame if I read that crap, too, "GUEST."

Lepus Rex,

Maybe you could offer up some alternative news websites you frequent as well?

I too went to the Guest's website, and found it pretty offensive. Independent News Media's website has to be read carefully, but there is often on the ground news and perspectives which never get reported in mainstream media sources, which is why I suggested it as another perspective.

I came across DebkaNet a while back, while tracing an article I read somewhere else back to it's source(it is very helpful to look at the homepage, and not just the original article, in order to get some idea of the bias and credibility of the source) and it seems to be on a level with The Drudge Report--And Lepus is right, the articles are filled with glaring errors--Still, I check it out every other day, because stuff from there works it's way into more legitimate sites--There are people who read this stuff and believe it--just as there are people who believe some of the most virulent anti-Israeli stories (like the one about Jews who worked at WTC being told not to go to work on 9/11)--

If you know what people believe, you will be a little more prepared for the things they do--
