Good points. I'm of a similar mindset and rarely flip on the stupid box for my news. Most have their own agenda nowadays. My problem is not with it originating in the Middle East. I've spent some enjoyable time visiting (or deployed) in certain countries in the Middle East. I've caught a lot of very unflattering information through the years regarding the owners of Al Jazeer. That's not to say media moguls like Murdoch and Bloomberg deserve consideration for sainthood either, the Qatar family just seems to always be synonymous with oil, gas, and terrorism.
