I think it's pretty interesting how aljazeera.com has a poll on whether or not America will take military action against Iran.

However, the way the poll is worded clearly reflects what people think of...

"Will the Bush Administration take military action against Iran?"

note: not American, but Bush.

maybe arabs wont hate all Americans, just the ones who actually deserve it. I mean, seriously, normal every day Americans dont make the foreign policy that incites the world against us. We may "mandate" it as Bush likes to claim, but we dont actually formulate it or enforce it.

Sadly enough...


Thirded. The Daily Show as well (though not nearly as much as I use to).

Otherwise, it's from friends and family. I'm one to avoid hearing about news in general. Perhaps I'm paranoid and feel news media run like in Tomorrow Never Dies >_> Or perhaps it's something less insipid than that...

Economist, BBC, CNN. More the first two than CNN. I read al Jazeera, Fox and an Iraqi paper called al Sabaah (http://www.alsabaah.com/English.html), but not for the news so much as how they cover it.

It may seem strange to have a love affair with a newspaper, but I love the Economist. Brief, readable and witty articles on most everything - news, politics, economics and art from all across the world. The fact that it's unabashedly pro-free market and *not* inimically hostile towards anything and everything America does is merely a side bonus. ;) It's a great way to stay abreast of things.
A desperate disease requires a dangerous remedy.

A major source of objection to a free economy is precisely that it gives people what they want instead of what a particular group thinks they ought to want. Underlying most arguments against the free market is a lack of belief in freedom itself.

Mostly CNN, but also the New York Times... Ocassionally I read Fox to get a 'different perspective'. A couple times a month i'll check out BBC.

Oh yeah, and Spin... Beats the crap out of Rolling Stone.
