everywhere you look, and ever site you find will be biased one way of the other. its impossible to get a straight answer on anything.

Just read the facts, and take almost everything with a grain of salt

MSNBC is the most straight-forward non-biased reporting agency there is....honest. 
I'd say politico is pretty decent.

[sarcasm] I've found both fox news and their viewers to be totally unbiased [/sarcasm]
EDIT: Apparently no one here was catching my pass...

foxnews.com is about as good as it gets. Their programing is pretty good too.

If you read both the Fox News and MSNBC side of the story, combine them, and throw out the parts that disagree, then you pretty much have a solid idea of what went down. Not that there will be much left, but I think thats the point.
I haven't really found unbiased political news anywhere, so if you're looking for the 'one stop source' I don't think there is one.

I have no shame in saying that I'm a FoxNews watcher and a proud Conservative(NOT a Republican however) but as much as I agree with most of what FNC says I still try to keep in mind they have an agenda. I "try" to watch the ultra left channels just to see what they're saying and see how they put their own spin on things. While I think FNC reports more honestly than hack stations like MSNBC the truth still lies somewhere in between the 2

None of the news networks will be unbiased or weighted. Not a single one.
Your best bet is to look at all of them, online only, and try to gather your own opinion.

This, even more so when it comes to international news. You couldn't believe the discrepancies that I have found when that Russia-Georgia mini conflict broke out. In the very beginning, US news agencies were saying that Russian tanks are headed for Tbilisi (capital) and about to demolish everything, while the Russians were saying they were just doing some peace keeping  Later, of course CNN took back their statements because they were untrue, even the Georgian side stated that. And Russian's amended their position on "peace keeping". It also helped that I could read in multiple languages. BBC was the most accurate and consistent of all sites that I have found during that time.
So in short, multiple outlets FTW.

I watch Fox because I'm a conservative so it tends to follow my views more but see that's just it, it's conservatively spun. As others have said, watch Fox News, CNN, MSNBC, and then put the three together you're pretty close to truth.

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
