youre certainly not going to get accurate 'news' from maintstream media. search back to who owns what and it will lead to some interesting connections to the military industrial complex and so forth.
at the same time, i think it is imperative that people also have the same mindset when watching 'documentaries'. i personally find conspiracy docs interesting, but scoff at the sheer stupidity of some (one said there were actually NO PLANES on 9/11!). that said, some are very thought provoking…
tsj, i dont know if you are interested in this or not, but i would recommend either a doco on Noam Chomsky (brilliant man, professor - emeritus i think - at MIT) or reading one of his books. Hegemony or Survival i found very interesting, and all backed up by facts.
