with regard to my media outlets of choice..... all i would say is, when considering your satellite telly packages, choose the modules carefully!
the chinese outlet made for a very interesting case study in censorship; when everyone else was reporting the olympic torch fiascos the world over, the chinese were cherry picking like crazy, to portray a unified globe of support.
and russia too, instead of dwelling as we might expect, on US missile silos in poland etc.... are more concerned with Georgia and Chechnya etc and their ongoing 'uprisings, which we in the west have long since forgotten about. but i recently saw a documentary regarding a self sustaining village of people; sounds reasonable you might think that people are allowed to turn their backs on a consumeristic soceity.... but all village inhabitants, were mentally retarded and so the piece whilst trying to sound 'positive', came across as sinister segregation!
Press Tv are as partisan as you might expect from a downtrodden nation, which isn't to suggest they are merely speaking for the governing regime, but are sincerely airing the view of the populace.
and good old AJ, strangely remain the most impartial (but what do i really know) and persist as ever, to air the images and reportage other, more main stream outlets have little stomach to produce.
you have to cast your net wide my friends!
