You got it. But is is a good to have an idea wich source to trust
more
or less.

Unfortunately, that's not an easy thing to do, which is why I agree
with the perspective about using multiple sources--SW included. I
always somewhat baffled when someone says they listen to international
SW broadcasters because they do not "trust" U.S. media. While I
agree that I may not be wise to always trust our own media, I'm not
convinced at all that international broadcasters such as Radio
Netherlands, DW, or the BBC are any more trustworthy on a case by case
basis. The fact is -all- media consistently reflect the biases of
those responsible for the creation of the content.
