I've found US mass media such the waste of time, I don't bother getting a news paper anymore. It's all the same spin that I can pickup online for free. I tried political journals a la 'Foreign Affairs' and again, I find them too out of date or unoriginal, though it's nice to have the researched statistics to back up other sources. The only way I've found to pick up what exactly the US is doing is to go to foreign papers and see what they think of the US. Those papers are often even more biased, but because they have a very different bias they help balance out what I can get from US sources. I like european news, I also like Philippine news because it's non-western, former US protectorate based, and in English-mostly.

Anyone with the same problem? Where do you go for information on what your country does?
