gotta tell you, I'm tired of watching only war propaganda instead of news.

Impartial news is always hard to come by, especially in times like these. The only way to be utterly sure in situations like this is to actually go there yourself, and to be honest I think I'd rather not know than do that.

That said, I usually find the BBC to be pretty good. Their website isn't all that easy to search, but you can tune into their radio over the web if you're not in the UK to do it the old fashioned way, and they tend to show both sides of any given argument/ conflict. Most importantly, you know they're not in the pockets of some corporate or other because that's just not how they're funded. They do have links with certain political parties at the higher levels, but I honestly don't think that influence filters down very far into the news reporting.

Edit: Thinking about it, there's nothing wrong with biaseed news coverage as long as (a) you can find some equally biased piece leaning in the opposite direction and (b) the reporter follows rules of good journalism and doesn't lie/ distort the facts becasue of their bias.

Also aloofi, I find it odd that such images are Banned in america. After all, you can go down the cinema any time and see ten times as many soldiers killed with a hundred times the gore. I often find Americans very hard to understand for this sort of contradiction.
That said, we're hardly any different these days here in the UK of A.
