And I should trust CNN more than Al Jazeera? Sorry. Not gonna happen.

But to be fair, I do trust their weather forecasts, sometimes.
Isn't the NYT mainstream media? or are you just talking about television networks?


here's why I am posing that question. Americans do have alot of access to information, sure it may not be spoon fed to you by Wolf Blitzer, but it's there.

Can Tehran say the same... or is information very tightly guarded?
