Christian Science Monitor is supposed to have a pretty good reputation. It's not religious or anything, there was a thread about it a ways back.
I don't read it, but it is worth mentioning.

It's a shame that we can't have publically funded, objective news sources.
To us, it is the BEAST.Comment

Atlanta Constitution
I think that would be moderate, left leaning wouldn't it?I came upon a barroom full of bad Salon pictures in which men with hats on the backs of their heads were wolfing food from a counter. It was the institution of the "free lunch" I had struck. You paid for a drink and got as much as you wanted to eat. For something less than a rupee a day a man can feed himself sumptuously in San Francisco, even though he be a bankrupt. Remember this if ever you are stranded in these parts. ~ Rudyard Kipling, 1891Comment

Publicly funded wouldn't neccesarily be objective. America's political system has the unique ability to corrupt anything it touches.
Would you want to read the military newspapers? They're publicly funded. Right along with high school newspapers, which are often so heavily dominated by the religious right that they can't publish articles important to their readers.
You really should think long and hard about what you're wishing for Sava.John Brown did nothing wrong.Comment

Public funding does equal objectivity. National Public Radio is a perfect example...

At least publical news sources have potential to be objective sources. Private owned news sources are completely biased in one way or another. I'd much rather have a handful of good public sources amongst a sea of biased public sources instead of all private sources with their own agendas.
I'm not saying make all of them public. Have them compete. I think the competition will force the private ones to clean up.To us, it is the BEAST.Comment

Chicago Tribune (conservative)
Chicago Sun Times (more liberal)
Thanks Big Crunch.
RAHIt's almost as if all his overconfident, absolutist assertions were spoonfed to him by a trusted website or subreddit. Sheeple

That quote from Big Crunch IIRC is from the TV series ( & books ) "Yes, Minister" & "Yes, Prime Minister" - quality political comedy indeed
The only thing I care about paper wise these days is the sports coverage, which the Daily Telegraph is the daddy of. News wise I get it all from the BBC or CNN web sites.Comment
