Most reliable news site?
Does anyone know a fairly objective source of news ? I'm talking objective coverage of global news, not just Canadian! Any suggestions?  |

Fox news is pretty unbiased. It's mainly US and world news though.

I usually go with BBC too! I haven't been the biggest fan of Al Jazeera for a few years now, I found their Middle Eastern news often transparently biased...so I wouldn't know how reliable they are these days!

That's true. I stopped following them a few years ago because the biases were really obvious. But it's gotten much better now. The bias still exists but only on certain topics/issues, not everything anymore.

I use Google News, that way you can get the story through multiple sources. However, BBC is quite good.
