I'm 26 and I've started a quest to 'get the big picture' for unbiased world news and information.  It has been a personal passion for a over a year now.

In order to do this I've created www.newsmata.com [1], a presentable, broad spectrum, quick-to-read format, that visitors can look at and catch up on what's going on in the world.

What happened as a result, opened up a world of knowledge and insight into what exactly is wrong with everything we see, every day.

Shortly after my first algorithm was run to group news, blog and magazine articles for his NewsMata.com database, I suddenly found myself looking at shielded propaganda, unfiltered facts, misinformation, biased news, swayed stories, and all from the most unlikely of sources.

This was all information that had not made it into mainstream US news.

Credibility, reputation, fact, truth and more importantly Information — these are the terms of our generation, and our time. In this politically charged era when Internet and Information are readily available to thousands upon thousands of knowledge hungry on-lookers; who do you trust when it comes to the news?

When you find who, can you believe what you read? How much fact versus fiction are you really looking at? Do you even know if you're getting the right picture? Are you getting the whole picture?

I'd love to hear feedback, criticism, suggestions, or questions from anyone out there willing to share.

Peace,

MJ
