I don't have a TV, and haven't for 23 years.

The only television I watch is the Sunday morning newshoes and via the web, I choose what I watch.

I read books.

I do read two local newspapers in paper form.

I want to stay informed, not brainwashed.

The blogosphere is the rumorsphere. The important journalist standards of fact checking, repugnance at excessive bias, are lost on much of the blogosphere. If anything, stations like fox, resemble the rumorsphere (homo habilis to the blogosphere homo neandertholis), more than they resemble journalism.

Phil has to DECIDE, where he wants to go, pandering partison propagandist, or thoughtful gatherer of multiple and conflicting insights.

Thats why a single source, or perspective, is inadequate to get to knowledge.
