We no longer have cable and I've been trying to find a decent news radio station to listen to on my iPad in the morning. I found a Bloomberg financial radio station out of NYC, which seemed ok since it shied away from the personal interest stories that clobber the local news stations.
However, this morning there was a quick reference to the Silk Road website and their description of it was "a website that sells illegal drugs and guns." I have never been to the website but am familiar enough with it - usually reading stories about bitcoin - and have never once heard "guns" as a primary good being sold. I found this article (http://www.policymic.com/articles/59777/welcome-to-the-silk-road-an-inside-look-at-the-darkest-corner-of-the-internet) in 10 seconds of Googling that lists the top 20 products sold, and as you might guess, guns are not among them.
Needless to say I won't be listening in to a news station that lies to further the agenda of its owner.
And if anyone knows of a good radio or streaming video online news source that I can listen to, I'd be much obliged.
