I am currently residing in Dallas, Texas. That doesn't mean I am an American, Yes because I happen to live in the United States I must be brainwashed by CNN? You were the first person to mention watching CNN.
So not living in the United States somehow makes you able to assume that all American Media = Bullshit, all Non-American Media = Correct. Very astute assumption, no doubt confirmed by hard facts.

I'm in Canada, said it many times. I don't think you're brainwashed just because you're in the USA, I know you're brainwashed because of your comments. It's has nothing to do with the US media being wrong and all other media being right all the time, who said that? America has a lot of great magazines and newspapers that I read regularly.
US television news isn't real news pal, surprise. It's government propaganda, pure and simple, you're being trained to get a vicarious thrill out of war and not question the official story of anything. I realize that you'll think I'm stupid for saying this because it's taken so seriously on American TV, but I'm right. Their idea of reporting all sides of the issue is having two partisan hacks spit out talking points. Their idea of reporting war is reading pentagon press briefings, and showing Americans shooting (but never getting shot at). It's not news, it's propaganda, open a dictionary.
Obviously I've never said anything remotely close to "all non-American Media = correct", no news source is correct all the time, let alone every one in the world. There are however a lot of news agencies outside the US that do still report real news, you're right about that. The trick is to find all the information you can and then make your own decisions about things, not look around for one person spinning it in a way that sounds good to you, and then agreeing with everything he says.
