I don't trust the whole "mainstream news" narrative. It implies that there are news sources that somehow aren't driven by some $#^holes' ideological or corporate motives. "understandingwar", for instance. Who are they, who funds them and why on earth should I trust them? I'm critical of cnn etc but personally I think they're more credible than some NGO-sponsored blog IMO

>"understandingwar", for instance. Who are they, who funds them and why on earth should I trust them? Funny you should ask! Bill Kristol is on their Board[1], and for those who don't know who Bill Kristol is, he is one of the foremost Neocons in the US, behind such hits as WMD's in Iraq and 20-years of Adventure in Afghanistan. Most of the rest of the Board appears to be like-minded neocons who beat the drums of war (and more importantly, intervention) every chance they get.
