for everyone

Every journalist contains bias of some sort based on geography, political persuation, life experiences, etc... We are fools to limit our knowledge to our own confines. Thus, I share some words, opinions, bias, stories... links to the "outside world"...

You have to be just as careful with other news sources as you are with american (Fox for example). I noticed that you've got Arab News from Saudi, I used to read it quite a bit, but it has really become a propoganda outlet for the kingdom. They'll start off a story pretty well, but by the end of it, you can see that they've just gone in a circle....It's very sad. you have to read a story from 15 differnt sides to get to any bit of "truth"

as we all know, truth, like beauty, is in the eye of the beholder.....

Yeah, that's my point! --Thanks Heather, I think it's cool that I have you as an "inside scoop" to the Arab world... (Better you than me!)

It's really interresting to me to read a 'big story' as comentated in various new sources from various countries... After 3 or 4 "opinions" it really makes you realize that things are NEVER as they seem or sold. But it's also good I think to step out of our egos and look at ourselves thru the eyes of others...

The world is FULL of suprises...

the same goes for the Polish and Russian papers they are very biased towards themselves, though there is a split the Polish papers being extremely pro American and the Russian extremely against the US. But this is changing especially because of the atteck in Beslan, i am afraid of what will come next all of eastern europe is in a fury it's amaising what western news agencies are ignoring.
