What news source do you use?

I am looking for a good, unbiased, unobstructed, solid news source. Google news just isnt cutting it. I want it to have a edge too, like noam chomsky on pcp.

Does this independent news source exist?

For online... Reuters. It's my homepage.

For print.. Economist and New York Times.

I think the key is to balance your news sources. Don't just rely on 1 for information. That way, you get a rounded picture of whats happening.

Fuck the NYT. They've gone to absolute shit.

WSJ is where it's at. Although they are focused more on financial news, they still have a wide selection of world news that is unbiased.

Check it.

As for non-newspaper, I use the INTERNET.

CNN.

Because they twist it so much you just get brainwashed and forget.

That's equally moronic. Most 'independent' news sources have no concept of journalistic integrity and have some kind of agenda.

I use Google News. It selects the sources you see based on an algorithm that is fundamentally democratic.

I suppose I should have mentioned that I was being sarcastic.

I use drudge report and lemonde.com

Drudge report is just a bunch of links to other sites.

Why don't you just use google news?

These websites are far from the unbiased news sources BlindFighterPilot desires. Two of them are conspiracy websites, and the other, indymedia, as far as I know, has no process of scanning reports for factual accuracy.
