“Opposition” Newspaper where Robert Fisk writes quite frequently)

I am sure as far as you are concerned these sources are not to be trusted because they are Muslim.

The Guardian is a great source. i was surprised to find Yahoo News is very well updated. http://news.yahoo.com Another good media source is The Asia Times http://www.atimes.com One of their journalists, Pepe Escobar, publishes a regular column; good source of info IMO.

Thanks for posting alternative news sources other than CNN and Fox.

Was apalled by CNN this morning. Cut off the speech of one of Iraqi heads of state, Ramadan I think his name is.

They also cut off the live reporter from Jordan doing commentary twice.

Was pretty important news and deserved proper attention on both sides of the ocean.

CNN had a photo on their website of a captured Iraqi labeled as "exclusive coverage."

Completely Irresponsible reporting in my view.

Some of these vultures really need to recall that they are supposed to be reporting facts objectively and stop reporting the barbarity of war as an exclusive scoop!

I think the way news anchors conduct themselves is percieved by many as a reflection of people from that country. They have a grave responsibility to report fairly and objectively.
