This speaks to my point that while NPR is well-meaning and entertaining, it's usually sheep-like when it comes to progressive journalism. I have given up on it for news, but still love it a lot for entertainment and variety.
My main source for news now is Pacifica's Democracy Now with Amy Goodman. The production quality sometimes leaves a bit to be desired, but it makes me think; it tries to investigate what it can; and above all, it speaks truth to power.
My favorite for print media is where I used to be on the technical staff: The Independent. In spite of it now being owned by the Mirror Group, they have maintained very high standards of integrity and, well, independence.
One of their star reporters is Robert Fisk, who, though a real luddite, is an astonishingly experienced and insightful reporter specializing on the Middle East (great example here). I bet dollars to donuts that he will be having his next column on the incident you're (appropriately!) skeptical about.
