Who do you think is the least biased news source?
Obviously, we can rule Fox News out. ;)

Who do you think is the least biased new source?

Are there any that you think lean left instead of right?

1. UK's the Guardian?
I'm really interesting in what others post.

Possibly this would be a good poll.

2. Comedy Central's Daily Show with Jon Stewart is the best.
They call it a 'fake' news show, but really, their 'news' is alot less fake than Faux's.

3. Pacifica Radio?
I can only get it online, but it's pretty left leaning.

10. Two separate questions
I asked who is the least-biased as one question and a separate question was do you think any are left-leaning.

4. For least biased...
I'd say C-Span...otherwise, ALL major news outlets either lean to the right, or are so 'infomercial' like that People magazine could be doing the writing...

The only left leaning station I get is LINK which has some hard hitting stories (and usually shows reruns of the better Gore speeches as of late). I don't have FreedomTV, but am ready to switch from DirectTV to Dish to get it (especially if Fox buys controlling interest in DTV).

5. BBC is most balanced.
UK Guardian, Independent & Mirror all lean left.

6. The German weekly magazine " Der Spiegel "
I am not sure if anyone knows about it but I have enjoyed reading it . They attack both and all sides of the goverment in Germany - opposition and the Schroeder government .

15. What about "die Zeit"?
I prefer that one; better level of journalism.

I've seen "Der Spiegel" in the US (with the cover stripped - probably beause of a naked woman), so it does seem that it is not completely unknown.
Rumor has it that it was required reading in the State Department under Kissinger.

16. Democratic Underground. I get more news HERE than anywhere
else.

With all these thousands of people scouring the planet for news and information, I get a genuinely diverse cross section of news and information, unmatched ANYWHERE.

Thank you!
