MEDIA AND IRAQ

Rami G. Khouri has an interesting op-ed piece in today's LA times (link), regarding the Administration's contention that the arab media are inciting violence in Iraq. I agree: personally, I find the reporting outside the US to be much more balanced (contrary to most of my co-workers, who think that CNN and Fox are the epitome of equity).

The Guardian is pretty fair. www.guardian.co.uk

By 'fair' do you mean 'reflecting your own bias'? I often find myself agreeing with the Guardian, but I can't help thinking it's because its particular skew is close to my own thinking, and I'm not convinced I've seen any paper that doesn't have a distinct skew one way or the other.
