Do you care about the news or should I say "Controled information"

[Dis]

I realize that no one media source is completely unbiased.

I try to sample around and draw my own conclusions (which may be biased as well- but what are you gonna do).

I think they stick to facts as to not get in flame wars with
other SW stations, and to keep high creditablity (SW is
still the only source of news for parts of the world). Also they know you'll hear both sides of the story, as well as what neutrals are saying.

It just seemed to me that SW news seemed the same whatever the source, where as BBC and CNN on TV can be miles apart of the same story.

Of course they "slant" it, they didn't put SW stations with huge transmitters up for laughs, they're government or Church funded. But I've never hear SW
do a number on a speech like CNN.

But if you compare what you hear on BBC to what you hear on CNN or TV5 it's not the same story...makes you think.
