I read the papers. They're still somewhat honest. Or at least less dishonest.

Public apathy and disinterest is universal. The only way to get them to move is to starve them. Governments know this. Which means they'll be fed, no matter the cost. A full stomach is a surety against questions.

Like yourself, I can no listen to the nauseating shit they're putting putting out now. We're lucky here, in that the BBC is still, for the most part, funded by public subscriptions (via TV licensing). And even they've almost gone rogue. Fuck the engorged media monster.

For well over a decade, the best source of American news has been the Guardian. That is a very sad thing, that I have to rely on foreigners to bring me anything close to resembling unfiltered American news.
