Reply #5: It's very hard to find truly "objective" news sources

I would just read a wide variety and form your own opinions

The Guardian is excellent: http://www.guardian.co.uk, with extensive reporting. A clear leftist stance but excellent reporting nonetheless and generally rated one of the best global papers.

For news on the Middle East, you should probably consult the following:

Haaretz - http://www.haaretz.com - a left-wing Israeli paper, very extensively read; excellent op-ed pages, again with a very clear LW slant.

Jerusalem Post - http://www.jpost.com - Right-wing Israeli paper but deserves to be read as its one of the most widely-read papers in Israel.

Al-Jazeera - http://english.aljazeera.net - News from a the popular Arab perspective.

Daily Star - http://www.dailystar.com.lb - English language Lebanese paper.

Al-Ahram - http://weekly.ahram.org.eg/index.htm - English-language Egyptian weekly.
