I would be sorry for anyone who chose to get all of their news from a sin=
gle source. What a dreadful idea. I watch CNN regularly because I'm a n=
ews junkie, but, as Marvin Gaye advised, "believe half of what you see, s=
on, and none of what you hear." I think it's wise to consult a wide vari=
ety of online and print sources, and it's important not to get all of you=
r news from domestic sources. Branch out. Read Canada's The Globe and M=
ail; read Great Britain's The Guardian, The London Times, and The Indepen=
dent. Read things with which you disagree. I'd like to burn the editori=
al pages of The Wall Street Journal and The National Review, but I read t=
hem. (Know thy enemy.)
