In the past 24hrs I have watched : the Riz Khan show, an interview with Mikhail Gorbachev, Moscow's preparations for Victory day (May 9, pro and con), The risks of reporting on genital mutilation in Sierra Leone, the Pakistan refugee crisis, and ad for endfistula.org,(more on that in another post) .

So if you are tired of stories about swine flu, what kind of mustard President Obama has on his hamburgers, and Ashton Kutcher's musings about Twitter The creation of Twitter... is as significant and paradigm-shifting as the invention of Morse code, the telephone, radio, television or the personal computer."
-- Ashton Kutcher
(yeah he really said that) Try it !!
Sure there's jingoistic propaganda, but there's lots of that in the Western media too. You're smart enough to figure it out and you don't need the government to tell you.
Do you?
