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. :P 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.
Note: I'm semi-retired from the board, so if you need something, please be patient.
