Am I not going to read a paper from Nigeria ? Or any other country ?

If it’s a load of cr@p, I use my little brain to figure that out.

I don’t care what the source is if I don’t rely on the source for factual correctness.

Where’s the logic in saying I want to lock myself out of ALL publications from Nigeria.

And accept psmbcs view ONLY ? Or the U.K. view only ?

What makes American news media now what I can only post articles from ?

The American news media, frankly, is the worst I have ever seen it, and is has always been little more than State Sanctioned viewpoints, even back in the 1960s and 1970s... but it is MUCH worse now.

The UK press is a good source, they are of course very leftwing but they will report on things the US press simply will not cover, and I give them a lot of credit there.

Pravda and russian sources have become very interesting, they actually have gone from a State Run organ to something in between a state- and a true civilian-press, and the tendency to want to slam America makes for occasional utterances of truth about our present dilemma.

Getting information outside 'traditional' American sources is truly the only way to get any clue about events and trends these days. Some of them are foreign, some of them are alternative US. I'm less likely to look at some of the third world news organs as reliable, but input from them won't be rejected out of hand. Just colored with credibility-doubt.

Naw, umm...it’s GOOD you go outside of US media. It’s great.

I didn’t mean that.
