When I said mainstream media, I had in mind the three main networks, maybe CNN and FOX, the New York Times, The LA Times, the AJC in Atlanta, The Washington Post. I'd also list Newsweek and Time.

I watch local tv news probably once a week; I read the Atlanta paper online daily, and I read several general interest blogs, sort of right center in bias daily. From there, I'll search to see what I can find out if I have additional questions or something in the reporting seems fishy.

I used to really like reading the AP wire online but it seems to be harder to access for general users, and even if it weren't, they're pulling some strange crap with their Middle East coverage. I think they'd be fine for domestic news, but really sketchy for international stuff.

I adore William F. Buckley, and I subscribe to the National Review. There's no question that it's a conservative source, and I understand that about its reporting.
