Do you mean "who" Bill - as in a particular newsperson?

I get my fix of international news between the Globe and Mail and the New York Times but I wander other places depending.

I watch the NBC network news. I check Google News a few times a day to expand the number of sources and stories out there.

I read Czech news regularly - they cover world news too.  We don't watch TV at all, just movies, I don't miss talking heads.

Also no printed newspaper since 90ties, those are as obsolete as dinosaurs.

National Review Online. Not so much for fast-breaking news, but for good, well-written analysis of current events.

I have been using the BBC lately.  They tend to cover the news instead of trying to create the news.

PBS runs the evening news from BBC, NHK, and Deutsche Welle.

I find it mildly disturbing that, after all our effort to kick the nazis out of Belgium, the kraut channel comes from "our studio in Brussels".

fukit... let 'em keep it this time.

Lots of places, npr radio is on in the car, local network tv x3 9all three are similar).

I like the daily show, it actually covers newsworthy stuff with a twist.

Used to do online local newspaper places, but not lately.

to comfort you somewhat, Deutsche Welle is probably the most objective, unbiased news channel (TV and Radio) in German speaking Europe (to include the far eastern part of Belgium) and would not have had the chance to air one minute of news during the era between 1933 to 1945.
