Try to read both what you like and what you don't like in opinion on an issue. Don'T stay with only that that you would like to hear - you become a narrow-minded idiot by that only.

Kidding of course, my friend. But you are right. I find 'Google News' to be amazingly helpful for this. Underneath a headline you find links to the same story as covered by dozens if not hundreds of other news outlets from all around the world. It's fun to hear the CCP organ Xinhua's take on Paris Hilton, among other things
