And for additional neutral sources you might want to try sites such as moveon.org, the Daily Kos and the democratic underground message board, which is best remembered by its acronym dumb.

you are so bad

Actually, for what is going on right now/today/currently/etc. - I go to AP and Reuters, which almost all major news sources (Fox, CNN, etc. ) carry - those are most of the ones I cite to as they are not really biased and are pretty much just straight fact reporting. For editorials, I tend to avoid the extremes on both sides because they distort the facts and/or do not tell all the facts - tough occasionally some will and some are just downright too funny to ignore. In the end, facts are what interest me and I have been known to go to the minutes of the Congressional meetings to prove myself correct against some fact spinner

In the end, most people are so politically one sided and all they listen to is one thing on either side, so they never really get all the facts, which is ashame. Then, when someone points out the facts, they are so brainwashed they cannot believe them and get angry and yell

why now, why didnt I think of those? Personally, I dont think you can get a better newsprogram than Frontline on PBS....or Free Speech Radio, which is funded solely by journalists, and not beholden to the uberich megamoguls
like Turner or Murdoch.

Well, I always cite to the facts and then conclude. I am neither right nor left wing. I am a true conservative who thinks govt. has as little place in our lives as possible, which is fighting words to both the left and the right now.

That sounds more like a Libertarian to me my friend! As for Government having little place in our lives, I agree...especially the Bushwad version of Government. Especially the Fundie version of Government. We need a Ledgie version of Government here...hmmm theres a thought: who would we pick from the Ledgies?

Turner has pretty much divested himself of his holdings. He's got a huge humanitarian streak.
