How corrupt the media?

tw: if you don't read this, you are anti-American. If you read it and read it well, your head will explode.

Anyone anti-war: you have to read this to find out how you got that way -- and a few of the names that let you down and made you indirectly support some of the worst horrors of the world so that a small number of people could make a quick buck.

Anyone who follows only one source of news: you have to read this to understand how very little you know.

In one case, a correspondent actually went to the Internet Center at the Al-Rashid Hotel and printed out copies of his and other people's stories -- mine included -- specifically in order to be able to show the difference between himself and the others. He wanted to show what a good boy he was compared to this enemy of the state. He was with a major American newspaper.
Do you think you know what's going on in the world? The only way to know is to read blogs. This story comes to us via Andrew Sullivan.
