My take: I am a big fan of this site - it was passed on to me by a parent of one of my students and I believe this site makes understanding the news easier - in addition, the site presents the concept of point of view and bias in a way students can understand - I like the concept of perception and it is a constant part of my class this site helps explain this idea as well as provide students a place to explore independently - I highly recommend this site it is one of my favorites
