I'd agree with the thrust of that. I don't like The Times, even without the additional consideration of my enmity for all things Murdoch, but it's a starting point.
The trick is to let the media be a guide, a starter for ten if you like, and follow up to sources like Hansard, Court Judgements, research reports etc etc.
