New site for real news

I thought I would mention this, becuz I am always looking for a good site for real news, which is not as easy as it sounds.

Hello there. So what is 1. Guardian America, what makes a British newspaper think that Americans will want to imbibe its view of America and the world, and why, having decided to undertake such an improbable project, would the paper place it in my hands? Fine questions. Let's explore.

So Guardian America will, yes, promote the liberal interest. Not with a sledgehammer; one of the most important liberal interests, after all, is in free inquiry, debate, scepticism, even about one's own positions. But I suspect that, among the Americans who like the Guardian, one of the things they like is that the paper expresses its view of the world a bit more openly than American newspapers do.

This will mean looking at the events of the day from a slightly different angle than US papers, and focusing in on some matters that they might ignore, as I have in my interview with Hillary Clinton. It will not mean, of course, that our standards of accuracy and fairness and fealty to fact will be anything but the highest. "Facts are sacred," said CP Scott, the man whose family placed the Guardian in trust 71 years ago the better to insulate it from the vicissitudes of the marketplace. That they are - and that does not change across either decades or oceans.

Is Guardian America the "dumbed down" version?

I think it's a realization that the "truth is out there" does not apply to our MSM coverage here, I think they
want to attract more readers and I found this site reading an article by John Dean who praised it.

This will make a nice addition.

I also like BBC World News America on the BBC America channel. They don't pull punches when it comes to the administration.

and I do miss it.

That one is 30 mins. and this one is an hour and is more interesting, IMO. But you have to get BBC America for it, and it's a cable channel.

If only I can get ahead of my aging car/house repair bills to pay the costly installation fees.

Thanks for the link.
