So, out of interest, where do you get your news from?

For me, choice is great. The Murdoch-owned Sky satellite service in the UK has a great selection of news channels:

It's kinda interesting to flick between the different channels during major events to see how the same event is reported in subtly different ways.

Some people do not watch tv and use the internet to get their news.

Interesting how we use possesive pronouns when talking about news (your, their, my), no?

It is all biased.

I think you're both right. The best way is to watch/read many sources, keeping in mind each has its own biases.

What gets me is that many here seem unable to accept that Al Jazeera is just like other sources, rather than some sacred source of truth and beauty. It's like "skeptics" that believe in conspiracy theories. Disappointing to see this so popular in HN.
