satu asked:
For example the current situation in Georgia.
I mean both a historical explanation but also an immediate contemporary explanation.
Can any situation be analyzed objectively?
Any resource suggestions would be appreciated. Both in gaining “raw” info and also understanding objectivity.
I’m looking for a starting block.

The BBC is your best bet. Great resource for information.

Your best bet is Wikipedia. Since Wikipedia isn’t owned by a corporation, there aren’t any slandered stories on account of corporate interests or politics. You will probably never see an unbiased news program in the American media these days, they only tell you what they want to tell you in order to make you think a certain way. I agree with another prior answer that BBC is probably your best bet in the media for decent journalism.
Since this conflict arose, both the left and right wing media outlets in the U.S. have harshly criticized and condemned the Russians for attacking Georgia, when it was Georgia that attacked first! And not to be surprised, the average idiot followed the propaganda like a moth to a light, and are convinced that “the Russians are the evildoer’s that are threating our way of life, and democracy in Georgia, etc…”
In order to separate yourself from the herd, and not become another mindless sheep like everyone else, you need to do some research on your own behalf and come to a conclusion based on your own accords.
