Since you both asked ;-) ... my 2 cents ...
I think what would interest me is the rarely reported item, typically
giving the other side of the standard story. The outlet could still be a
mainstream one (BBC or AP often let some non-establishment message slip
through).
For instance, what is the other side to a U.S vessel docking in HK? How
do the people in HK or China see it? Especially the people who do not
get a voice... peace activists, labour representatives, prostitutes and
those organizing them, human rights organizations, and so on.
I must add that I have no particular problems with Ulhas' forwards. It
would be of use if you (Ulhas) could preface the forward with a comment
on why you find that particular news bit of interest. The reason is not
obvious in some cases, especially since (IMHO) you are a bit cryptic
w.r.t your political philosophy.
