Hi forumites & forumettes,

What in your esteemed opinion is the best online news service?

By that I mean, unbiased, up to date, informative, reliable, etc...

Al Jazzera and Fox News.

just kidding. BBC World is okay, as is MSNBC. CBC seems fairly straightforward as well. In the end every one will put their own spin on things though.

I have my home page set to the ottawa citizen website. I usually am immediately in my 'favourites' folder clicking on links to websites I actually want to read, but occasionally a headline will catch my eye that I want to follow.

For serious news, I prefer to wade through newsgroups. They're more irritating and difficult to slog through to get to the actual facts, but quicker on the pickup.
