That is interesting. If you don't care about the mainstream media, where do you get your information from? Do you know of a secret, non-mainstream source that we should know about?

I've come across numerous blogs from people in Iraq, and I tend to read the for information sakes.
Certainly isn't from the MSM though.

Bad news does sell. There is a reason for that.
For example, I'll probably swim in a lake this weekend. If I happen to drown there might be a headline that reads something like this:
"Calgary man drowns in shallow water: autopsy pending".
That would be considered news.
If I don't drown when I go swimming the same paper could publish the following headline if the priority is "good news":
"Calgary man swims in shallow water: returns to land with wet hair, trunks".

Good analogy.
