A secret investigation of news leaks at Hewlett-Packard was more elaborate than previously reported, and almost from the start involved the illicit gathering of private phone records and direct surveillance of board members and journalists, according to people briefed on the company's review of the operation.

Couldn't agree more.
Case in point, look how fast the Carl Rove fiasco disappeared from CNN once it came out that Rove wasn't the leaker and Armitage was. The facts didn't match their agenda, so the news coverage of this story died away.
Then many of us watch and wonder at how a population can become so polarized and full of hate and spite. Journalism is dead anymore, at least real journalism. CNN, et al should be utterly ashamed of what they've done to taint so much of the population, but we clearly see (by their own actions) they have no shame, no conscious, no moral standing, anything for a story that fits their agenda and the hell with the facts.
Luckily I think the tide has turned, most folks I talk to anymore are just turning it all of and getting on with their lives versus getting all excited and upset over the eternal "crisis of the day" propaganda.
I have a friend that has an excellent tag line on his emails, goes something like:
"Medical professionals are growing increasingly alarmed by the increase in depression cases. May I suggest a simple solution? Turn off the damn TV, put the newspaper where it belongs (garbage can), and get out and live your life for a change."

It wasn't just CNN that the story disappeared from. It disappeared from what seems to be the entire media organ.
So much for that scandal.
And it's also worth noting that the rumors of Karl Rove being indicted first came out of that ultra left wing blog, truthout.org. That's something I do every now and then is browse the leftist blogs.
It's a good way to know what the lib media will be talking about in a day or three.
These people are so unethical it should sicken everybody. And the NYT is arguably the head of the snake.

Here's an alternative to actively ignoring the rest of the world outside your particular sphere: get news from *multiple* sources, identify issues that might be hyped and use a little critical thinking when reading or watching.
If everyone thought logically about pressing issues and critically about where they get their news from we might even have informed debate, as opposed to the outright partisan bickering on the news, the street and this site.

All media has a political slant, its human nature
the bbc is a government quango, but I still trust it as a impartial (non govenment dictated) news service
p.s. for anyone who doesnt know what a quango is http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quango

The BBC has alot of anti-americanism in it. So does the UK Guardian.
---------All media has a political slant, its human nature----------
I agree with you totally. But the liberal media should just come out and state what it is that we already know.
"we're in the tank for democrats"
And for that matter, Fox should also do the same.
"we're in the tank for republicans"
I do tire of the shilling.

I don't see it as off topic at all because look at the source. The NY Times....... they put out propaganda on a regular basis. You won't see Fox sourced here on OSN, why should left wing news be sourced here either? Because they've got a long/old establishment?
A media source which has a political agenda is not to be trusted.
And CNN is not right wing. They regularly carry the water for left wing causes, as does the majority of the media.
