I'll toss this in for sport, different, news groups, The Christian Science Monitor, BBC, The Straights Times, Australian Broadcasting Corp., The Norway Times, Duetsche Welle, and then news from Latin America, with a seasoning of Russian News. That should provide some sort of balance for "westerners" the only problem is that it takes time to cross reference the various stories, I think the best you can do is skim and get an impression or feeling of what's going on.
Bill the demon.
