Do You ever watch foreign news TV channels or only the ones from Your country? If You do, which ones? Where do You get most of Your news from anyway? Which channels/newspapers/radios/webpages?

So the new rule is, "if You want to know the
truth watch Fox news and then invert every
sentence, thus You find the truth". :)

They aren't as 'fair and balanced' as they like to portray,totally lean to the right and makes for good arguments for me,,sometimes I feel sick watching educated people making fools out of themselves,acting like they are always in the know...why is it that all other parties(non republican)see things as incorrect?

So at least someone is trying to get info from
both sides. That's good. :)
.
And what do You think about the difference between
the info on Your local TV and Al Jazeera?

And how much of the things You see and hear
on those channels do You believe?

The news programs are remarkably similar to each other, so I believe pretty much all of it. A British television channel broadcasting news programmes would have its licence removed if those programmes were proved to be not fair, open and balanced. When it comes to programmes that allow opinions to be expressed I am appropriately cynical.
 
Newspapers all have their own political leanings but straight news coverage tends to be straightforward and honest, with political bias being displayed only in editorials and magazine-type articles, so it's quite straightforward to get balanced and accurate news.

Thank you for pointing out my poor grammar. I've corrected it.

I didn't point out Your grammar. I just commented that it's
smart, that You have noticed what You've written in that sentence.

I noticed the error, though recently I started just ignoring
them, because many people don't like it when they are corrected.

Sorry. I assumed that the quote was to point out my inadvertent use of "to" rather than "too". If the sell-check doesn't catch it, such things often go past me. I'm not a very good typist. It would never occur with pen-and-paper.

It's no problem. Don't worry. I make them too once in a while.
That's why I usually read these texts again after writing them.

It's too bad the SELL-CHECK doesn't catch it.
Oh, the irony. ;)) You see. These can be funny.

Just like some people, who call people that point
out mistakes "grammEr Nazi". :)

Duh! Like I said, my typing skills are horrible at best. It's the only way to communicate on this site and it really makes me angry with myself to appear an illiterate boob.

Don't get emotional over it. You don't appear
as an illiterate noob. You seem to be taking
it much too seriously.

Fair enough. Though it's also good to sometimes check
out some news from non-English speaking countries.
There's always babelfish and alexa.com
