We live in a stakeholder's world. A world where it requires 5 million or 10 million or sometimes many more individuals to come together in order to undo some truly heinous initiative of a handful of stakeholders. These stakeholders own all the major information outlets and the last thing they want is to have a return to truly representative democracy. The masses are to be fed but not nurtured. So I would argue that there is no news anymore. Not in the sense of news being factual and unbiased. If I read news on a topic that interests me, I only do so to find the links to the source material and explore that without reading the bias surrounding it. Takes more time but is infinitely more rewarding. A number of comments here suggest getting involved locally. Good advice; it's much harder to introduce spin and bias at such a level of granularity.
