How to explain. The Zeitgeist Movement gets characterised as a conspiracy theory proponent. I see why, but do we really think that a company that makes weapons of war (perhaps for both sides) and also owns a TV company is likely to allow its news coverage to be critical of its arms trade involvement or the war it is equipping. It's definitely a case of vested interest, and the (natural) self-preservation of institutions. Where do you go for news that avoids this problem? Well here's PJ's answer to that question (more-or-less).

Raw Story
Global Research
Alternet
Huffington Post (tentatively)

(I thought he also mentioned one called Global Search, but I can't find it or any reference to it)
