endorsing all alternative media. Alternate and foreign news sources can be flawed as well, of course.

The fact is that the corporate media is incredibly biased in the US. It's bias is in favor of Wall Street, and mostly comes in the form of omission rather than outright propaganda. Have you ever read a paper or watched the news in Europe, or even Canada? It's like night and day.

Our television media doesn't do anything close relevant reporting. In comparison to foreign news sources, our big news outlets sound like something between a corporate annual report and a tabloid show. Newspapers are a little better, but still ignore much of the important news.
