A conflict is like a coin in the sense that either side can be right in some ways, but neither is completely good and innocent. The side that is preferred according to how one sees it depends on external circumstances such as a wind blowing the coin such that it always lands in one direction. The modern media is like the wind. It can create spin (no pun intended) to favour one side and distort the picture. Information Clearing House is a great news outlet which reports the news that the average person would not see. Most people are probably not even aware of the tip of the iceberg of news stories reported in ICH. I strongly recommend you check it out. I also recommend Russia Today which is another great news outlet which presents stories which do not side any particular hegemony like the Australian media.
