You just have to dig deeper and use your brain to filter out the biases in the main stream media.
Most Americans don't want to be made to think while watching the TV (i.e. idiot box), so the media is careful to avoid deep discussions of the issues for fear of losing viewers. For an example of this, compare the number of people who watch the McLeher (sp) News Hour vs. the number of people who watch ABC's evening news (I think thats the lowest rated of the big three). McLeher covers the issues far more thoroughly, but few people watch it because they would have to think while watching it.

Just read blogs, alternative news sources, or, better yet, decide what you want the news to be, and do a search. You'll get it.

Dont believe so. Even anyone's personal experience would be tainted by personal opinion.
I repeat......one's opinion vs another.....
