Stocky Posted December 1, 2004 Share Posted December 1, 2004 In the middle of Russia I'm a little short of English language newspapers so read my news online, I often listen to BBC Radio4 online as well. My daily read consists of: The Guardian - a good balance, owned by a trust not a media Mogul The Independant - another balanced UK broadsheet BBC News - accused by both the right and left of being biased so they must be getting it right! BBC Radio4 - Today, World at One and PM also the Archers International Herald Tribune - the best of the American press CNN - you have to look in on them Aljazeera - not impartial but no worse than Fox News The Moscow Times - what's happening in my neck of the woods I'll also take a look at The Nation online now and again.

Flummoxed Posted December 2, 2004 Share Posted December 2, 2004 The totally independant and unbiased BBC.CO.UK ... broadcasting on behalf of the Conservative Party Still think it's the best though... but then I am English. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cdnvic Posted December 2, 2004 Share Posted December 2, 2004 www.cbc.ca - Impartial as I can expect a news network to be. www.bbc.co.uk - As above, both built on similar model. www.theglobeandmail.com - Again, pretty balanced re: fox news: How th fck did the network that brought you married with children and when animals attack, all of a sudden become the conservative family values channel on its news chan?

PvtDick Posted December 3, 2004 Share Posted December 3, 2004 I prefer Google News: Google News because it links to multiple sources of news on various topics. Makes it easier to see what take the Western, Eastern, conservative, liberal, etc. presses are all saying about the same thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pablo H Posted December 4, 2004 Share Posted December 4, 2004 If I can get online I usually go with Yahoo. If I am staying at a hotel I usually make sure they have BBC World. Oh and I often tune into Fox news for the comedy aspect. I cannot believe people take that channel seriously. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
