About the links

The links listed as of 9.11.2007 are a reflection of international news sources I knew off the top of my head. Others will be added as I do research. Later, they may be broken into groups reflecting which side of the opinion spectrum they occupy. This is subject to change, as I'm not quite sure where I'm going with this, yet.

I'm not personally endorsing any of these sources as 100% reliable, as nothing is. My professors have asked us to hold The New York Times as the "gold standard" for what should be printed - I'm not sure if I agree, but then again, my true experience examining the differences between media is limited. I'm not looking for truth so much as frame. How is the story presented? Who is important? Who gets to talk? What are the implications? All kinds of good stuff, to be posted about later. I think the "truth" lies in the bare bones, but even the bare bones can be disputed, so even those aren't reliable. I guess we just have create our own frame of what is reality and what isn't.
