report the WHOLE truth.


How do you know?

That's actually a serious question, I wasn't being flippant. I can
cite 2 specific examples where NPR left out critical information from
stories (which I'll spare you unless you want to hear them). And
that's a lot, considering how rarely I can stomach listening to their
biased reporting.

Well, I read extensively. I subscribe to two newspapers, Newsweek, and (of
course) I read Yahoo news all day long.

Can we EVER know that we're getting the "whole truth"? Of course not. But
NPR, due to its non-commercial format, does very well.

Public radio and TV are as commercial as regular broadcast and cable
radio and TV.

Jay, you should get the Wall Street Journal. Hey! Business expense!

The editorial page and the Leisure & Arts page (book reviews etc) are
refreshingly and intelligently right-wing. The news pages are neutral.
Some of the opinion columns are liberal (especially the weekly op-ed
from Albert Hunt, the WSJ bureau chief in Washington, who is as
left-wing as the editorial page is right-wing).

I get up at 5 o'clock and do my online chores over cereal and coffee.
(God, I love the aftertaste of coffee at 5:27 a.m., which it is at the
moment.) Then I wash up. Then I go out to the road and get the WSJ,
which I read over the second cup of coffee.

By 7 a.m. I am alert, informed, opinionated, and ready to earn a
living.

I love the Wall Street Journal!

Sadly, the WSJ distributor in Iowa City is such a useless piece of crap that
I can't stomach the thought of paying for the kind of horrible customer
service they provide. Their idea of "service" is to throw the paper in the
street.

It's one of the downsides of being in newspapers for 20+ years. I still
know everyone!

WSJ will mail it if you ask. It won't be there for morning coffee, but
you actually get more work done when the paper is an afternoon
pleasure.

Even better is Investors Business Daily...with it's higher quality
free-market approach than the WSJ and it's Keynesian approach.

You should also hook up to out of state sources ... like BBC or the like.
Just to have a broader perspective.

Somehow, some way, the Left trash talks "multi-national corporations" and
"big corporations" as if they were messengers of evil, when, in fact,
corporations represent the ultimate, perfect expression of communal
ownership of capital. (Jay Honeck in r.a.p.)
