Tue 4 July 2006 - Independence from MSM day

Today is Independence From MainStream Media day.

I appreciate the sentiments, but I’m not joining in. I do read my fair share of blogs and other non-MSM, but fundamentally I want to know what’s going on in politics and world events, and that’s something I can’t get reliably from anywhere but the MSM.

(Besides, I forgot to cancel the newspaper for today!)

Most interesting non-MSM thing I read yesterday: America’s right-wingers have uncovered a “plot” by the New York Times travel section to help Al Queda target Cheney and Rumsfeld.. Yup.

    Cool. Legit excuse to play WoW all night. I’m not even going to visit news.com.au. Haha. Ahem.

    good grief, I’m so glad I don’t live in America, that really is a paranoid country.
