The Churchill quote is just tacked on, though.

The Churchhill quote is the only interesting one.
I know mainstream media colours half truths to sell more papers and endorse the politics they want. But I don't really buy the "alternative" media as people cal it cause that's just some redneck in a shack.
Your best bet for news is to resource every source on it and gather as much you as you can on a story from differing networks.
Here is an example:
CNN: Israeli's blow up ambulance, kills civilian
BBC news: Israeli artillery blew up an ambulance in Beirut during the Lebanese war, few pix etc.
EVENTUAL full news sometimes as tiny retraction later or earlier at local news sites in the region: That ambulance was being used as a transport for Hamas armed gunman and the driver was a human shield. As usual Israel peppered the streets with "LEAVE town NOW" leaflets during protests days befor opening fire on militants when they had the least human shields, all pix and relevant things linked too.
Ironic thing? Israel's satellite station now carries Al Jazeera and NOT BBC, the reason given? Al Jazeera was less anti-semetic in their reporting so was less offensive.
Of course there is also the blatant Republican Fox News and the blatantly Democrat ABC news. But a smart person isn't told what to think by either party OR some crazy Geggy in a shack with conspiracey theories. they research all they can and think logicly. At least I assume SOMEONE does I haven't seen them on the internet yet.
Republican biased media won't tell the true danger in Iraq and the state of the war.
Democrat Biased media doesn't report a thing about 80s era WMDs and mustard gas being found and destroyed in Iraq.
Green party biased media smokes weed, forgets to go to work, instead types on internet conveluted pothead theory about 9/11 and feeds it to Geggy.
