Are there any reliable news sources other than CNN and the major networks? I am so tired of the pro war slant on everything. -------------------------------------------------------------- "There are three topics which are taboo as far as Americans are concerned...[and one is] the total atheist who lives a happy and useful life and dies in his sleep at the age of 106." - Vladimir Nabokov, introduction to Lolita "Perhaps we should focus on the positive aspect of video games.

I am so tired of the pro war slant on everything. I've been enjoying CBC News and NPR for more balanced reporting. I ind it humorouw that ABC's tagline for the war is "War with Iraq" while CBC's is "Attack on Iraq"... -------------------------------------------------------------- "We must respect the other fellow"s religion, but only in the sense and to the extent that we respect his theory that his wife is beautiful and his children smart." -- H.L.

The entire network and expecially its news service owes its existance to federal government subsidies. Nevertheless, I am usually impressed with the quality of their broadcasts and they rarely descend into the blatant anti-americanism that their French-language sister station Radio-Canada is known to do. The anti-war point of view is omnipresent in most of the non-USA media, especially non-English language sources. I've watched a few reports from TF1 which parrot the Chirac/de Villepen position. One of our local TV stations occasionally picks up pieces from the BBC but I haven't seen enough of them to form an opinion. Wednesday night, when the "target of opportunity" attack occured, I tuned into a Spanish-language radio broadcast (based from where I don't know). The virulence with which the anchor attacked the USA actions sounded like propaganda coming from Saddam Hussein himself. Editorials in El Pa? and El Mundo (Madrid) have not been kind to the USA or Jos?Mar? Aznar's government, although the "news" articles tend to be very evenhanded (IMHO). -------------------------------------------------------------- Il n'y a que deux puissances au monde, le sabre et l'esprit: à la longue, le sabre est toujours vaincu par l'esprit - Napoléon Ier

I started looking for it in religion, and now the search for truth has proven to be quite addictive. -------------------------------------------------------------- "There are three topics which are taboo as far as Americans are concerned...[and one is] the total atheist who lives a happy and useful life and dies in his sleep at the age of 106." - Vladimir Nabokov, introduction to Lolita "Perhaps we should focus on the positive aspect of video games.
