all I have to say about that...ROFLMAO
I'd hate to break it to you, but those are all biased sources. People that search for bias in the news as a job have mentioned how biased they are...I could name a few books if you'd like.

every source is biased. but not necessarialy in the facts, just in the presentation of those facts and sometimes the omission of facts. cnn is known as a very liberal "clinton news network" they tend to report the stories that show america and republicans in the worst light but do they lie? no. they report the facts they want you to see based on the liberal opinons of their editors and owners and sponsors. the same can be said about all news sources as well as every possible source that you can name.
the point to this is, as kirby was trying to point out, that to form a proper informed opinion on world events, one must take many sources into account. you should read many different websites, magazines, history books, commentaries etc. read alot and also take your personal experience and the experience of those you know and then form an opinion. always take into account the source, its credibility and its motivations.
there are many people on these forums and elsewhere who do not do the above and in MY OPINION, most of those i've encountered have been blindly on the side of anti-bush, anti-america, anti-iraq war. i've seen the same liberal talking points spewed out over and over and over again saying "its about oil" "it's bush's daddy calling the shots" "iraq has done nothing" "the un should govern all" "it's revenge for assasination attempts" "hundreds of thousands of innocent civilians will die" there have been others, but i'm tired and babbling too much. bottom line, none of these arguments hold water and most of them have their origins in liberal focus groups where dems try out various slogans and pick those with best reaction. wow, i really am babbling on too long i'll end it here. if i could just bring myself to stop typing and hit submit here goes.
