    CNN? You mean the ones that "fact-checked" an SNL sketch?
    This isn't a judgement of Obama, but it's pretty pathetic to see these media types fall over themselves trying to defend him. He's the President; he can take a little criticism. It never hurt any other Chief Executive. Sometimes it can actually be constructive.

      The best, most accurate, least biased and most intelligent media I read:

      http://www.economist.com/

      With the BBC coming in a close second....and The News Hour (although dry sometimes) with Jim Lehrer.

      15 second sound bites on the evening news just doesn't cut it.

        I don't trust any news, but I read the Wall Street Journal.

        I've found that you gain instant credibility when you say "I was reading the Wall Street Journal this morning and..."

          Same here.

            I don't really watch any news stations, I think a lot of you would be surprised at how wrong they are on a lot of things (FOX News is by far the most inaccurate, about 3x worse than any other station).

            For news I typically read out of a newspaper and the pieces I'll pay more attention to are ones by the AP, Reuters, BBC. For sports I like to read my local newspapers, even if they aren't that great, mostly because there's stuff in there about teams I follow. I'll look at a few stories on ESPN but mostly read the blog stuff, which just links to different newspapers' websites anyway. Yahoo is pretty good for sports too.
