Magic 8 Ba
I've always felt a responsibility to educate myself about current national and international affairs, but I usually get overwhelmed by the variety and quantity of publications available for fulfilling this responsibility.
I subscribe to a newspaper now, but rarely have the patience to read it because most of the articles inundate readers with details about a single recent incident without giving a broader, generalized context for the story (for instance, an article might focus on a single car bombing without restating why there is even a war going on in the Middle East).
Given my dilemma, it seems like my question is two-fold.
First, what are the best sources for getting the "reader's digest" version of current national and international affairs?
And secondly, once a general understanding has been reached, what are the best sources for daily enhancing that knowledge?
Answer
1) I can only recommend that "independent" news agencies are not as biased as network news.
2) Unfortunately, it's usually the same source. What gets coverage on one news medium doesn't always get coverage by another.
There is one thing I am certain of: FOX News cater to people with "phobic" views.

Why was CNN teaching how to make car bombs on TV?
We're only
I was in the AIRPORT today picking up my cousin, and while I was waiting for his plane to arrive there was a television on CNN where they were talking about car bombs. Not only were they talking about car bombs, they were basically teaching the viewer how it is "So easy to make a car bomb, with cheap materials". Why would they do this? With airport security so tight as it is and how paranoid we are, we don't need the news teaching people how to make bombs!
Answer
They don't give out any technical info. Telling people about how easy it is and that there are materials available is not exactly a blue print for car bombs. They don't list specific ingredients, specific plan or any other specifics. CNN knows they'll get complains like this. They're not stupid. And they're careful not to give out any real info that can be used.
