I guess if you watch 'news' on TV then you are already inured / brainwashed / beaten down / trained / withered and probably don't notice, but holy heck: Yahoo's front page with their "news" is just horrible, horrible crap. Thank god for the BBC and even just Google News for being at least slightly less sensationalist.

One thing all sides can agree on: the 'mainstream' media is just horrible, horrible crap.
