I think the best source of news is the internet as long as you know where to look..... The mainstream news channels - although I do watch them sometimes are definately ranging from "take with a pinch of salt" to "this is complete bollocks"... If you were to do some research into the people that actually fund and make decisions for these corporations you would probably agree lol.... I think the UK news is somewhat better then the American news channels but it is still pretty poor if you compare it to what it could be if it was totally unbiased and unfiltered.

I also agree that a lot of the time you are actually better off not watching the news then watching it on TV because they are always trying to subtley push some government agenda onto you or influence you in some way which you may or may not realise...
