Have you tried reading what passes for news in the US?  After all, the 
information is on public websites accessible anywhere in the world.

Try Fox News for starters - I consider them to be probably the biggest 
example of poor reporting I've ever seen.

That's not to say only a right-leaning organization like Fox does a poor 
job.  I also tend not to trust those that lean heavily to the left.  What 
I really want from *news* is facts, not opinions, and that's really 
difficult to get in the US (from US sources, I should say).
