    I check out BBC for world news and Fact Check for U.S. political news.

    Where do you go for news (that isn't one-sided)?

    Reddit: politics / econ, CNBC, CNN international, Stratfor, Federal Reserve, CFR

    Yeah, it takes up a lot of time... lol

    But you can't get a good view unless you're looking from multiple perspectives

    There's no such thing as a single news source that isn't one sided. The more spins you read of the same story, the easier it is to see exactly how each outlet is biased toward its own interests.

    BBC, Haaretz, JPost, Al Jazeera, Huffington post, Press TV, and indymedia UK

    What Korr said is absolutley true, you need to view the news from multiple different angles.

    Yes, I agree. Reddit has some great stories, and I really love those discussions. You get to learn so much more, diverse viewpoints... really interesting indeed. :)

    Fox News and CNN... both are heavily unbalanced but I figure that I can at least figure out the middle ground after listening to both. :p

    Yeah, it's hard finding truly unbiased news sources ... I added the parentheses note to discourage the "Obama is the half-brother of Osama" type of sites from being listed. :D

    I'll have a look-see at some of these sites. The more sources, the better.

    I like FOX News and Sky News, basically any news corporation owned by Rupert Murdoch is trusted, he's the most honest man in the world. :)

    I cannot stand the BBC or CNN. Foxnews is alright at times. Mostly for some of their talk shows. Then I normally just do independent research on anything that comes across as interesting.
