Re: War in The Middle East
I think Armenian said it best about how you really have to start "averaging out" all these reports from all the different sides. And of course US media outlets are very far from being non-biassed (if there actually is such a thing).
As far as Rush Limbaugh, if you listen to him for entertainment or to listen to his interpretations or viewpoints, then great. But he is not much of a "source" for anything. If you listen to the Rush Limbaughs, you might want to listen to the Al Frankens too out there ... then try to average them out somehow to get a reasonable view of what really might be going on.
Regarding the US and its role in the world ... if you listen to the Arab view, they'll make it sound like US is the most horrible thing ever, in charge of creating the bubonic plague as well as saggy boobs at old age. Of course it is really not that simple. But just as you don't want to only listen to CNN to get the view of the world, you also don't want to be glued to Al Jazeera as the alternative either. There is a middle ground that is probably closer to the truth than any of the extremes.
