Bush* Propaganda Is Not News!

I found this at <democrats.com>:

AP Floods News with Bush Campaign Propaganda Disguised as 'News'
The USA Daily compendium of news presents a representative array of news stories every day: the frequency with which the same story appears (in different news outlets) indicates how widely the story was distributed. From July 31-Aug 2, an AP story - basically Bush campaign propaganda couched as "news" showed up over 20 times in the first two or three pages of the compendium: BUSH SAYS ECONOMY IS ON RISING PATH. This is neither an important, true, or meaningful story. It's only excuse for being is as campaign propaganda. Meanwhile, as of Aug. 2, NOT ONE story about Kerry appeared in the first two pages. This is clear evidence that AP is now providing Bush with free campaign coverage and that the nation's editors are allowing themselves to be spoon fed the material.

1. A question for all:

who CAN we trust for news now? Serious question, and I'm not really looking for unsourced, propoganda from our side, either. (Although that's lots of fun!)

Where do you get your news? Who do you trust?

3. I like the regular reporting by the NY Times, Wash Post, and LA Times.

The editorials I may or may not like, but those 3 papers have good regular reporting (with notable exceptions.)
