BBC was the most accurate and consistent of all sites that I have found during that time.
So in short, multiple outlets FTW. |
Agreed
Ya the bbc tends to be give pretty good coverage and i also read another language and that really does give u a better perspective than reading only English based news sources. I personally like to read the Economist because they have very good briefings which give u a good overview of big events
