Which is the best newspaper in the country...

[EnfantTerrible]

Just curious what folks think. I know it's a broad question, but which paper offers the most unbiased and comprehensive news?

[Bush was AWOL]

1. New York Times or Washington Post

13. Both Trash rags

NYT was instrumental in helping the bush gang justify invading Iraq.

Judith Miller, nuff said.

[Trajan]

2. ALL have a bias ....

I like the Los Angeles Times, New York Times and the Washington Post, in that order ....

[michigandem2]

5. I lost any hope in LA Times when they

made all the media hoot and hollar about that poll...wasn't that debunked?

[EnfantTerrible]

11. Is it possible to have an unbiased news paper?

Is it unrealistic to look for coverage without bias? And would people recognize it if it existed?

I'm a New Yorker and so the only paper for me is the NY Times and I get headlines e-mailed to me from the Washington Post.

This was strictly a point of curiosity to me.

3. New York Times

I think they're pretty fair. They've made their mistakes but overall they're good.

[calico1]

4. New York Times, Washington Post,

LA Times.

[Liberal OIF Vet]

9. Newspapers

The Chicago Tribune and Suntimes are ok also.

[rndmprsn]

6. NYTimes Washinton Post LA Times Chicago Tribune

but yeah...its all suspect.

[Ravenseye]

7. There are only 3 real newspapers....

...in the country according to my old AP American History professor.

The New York Times
The Wall Street Journal
The Christian Science Monitor

According to him all the other papers were either local rags which used AP or Reuters for most of their news, or middle tier national, with it's own reporters (ala the Boston Globe, Washington Post, LA Times, etc)

so if I'm restricted to what my old History teacher says....

I'd have to go with the Times. Heck I read it every day anyway, so there ya go.

[tridim]

8. The Onion

[lil-petunia]

10. for decent reports, few stories, Christian Science Monitor

I read the NYT, ChiTrib, Chi Suntimes, plus a few others each day. Mostly they bore me to tears, and I get tired of turning off my brain in search of news stuck inside all the ads.

World press review is fun, BBC and Guardian are useful, the Wall Street Journal is necessary every week or so, and as weeklies go, Economist, Washington Post Weekly, are all you really need. Forget Thyme and Gnusweak, or US News. pathetic. Brain candy for the people sitting in the waiting office waiting for their dentist.

Wait! People Magazine and the Sun! Yeah, there's REEEL news in there.

12. Those papers are usually pretty good,

however we all know the NYT at least has shills and whores who write the same stories over and over again.

Most newspapers seemed to repeat the lies of the Bush Administration about Iraq.


I used to read the NYT every day, but not anymore.

[Mistress Quickly]

14. The Eatonton Messenger n/t

[el_gato]

15. If you trust the New York Times you are only fooling yourself

They have a phoney liberal facade while going about the business
of the nations elite. Their main function is to make the elitist
agenda palatable to wannabe intellectuals.

[troubleinwinter]

17. The Christian Science Monitor

[WMliberal]

16. the onion

hands down. ironic times 2nd.

[DeepModem Mom]

18. NY Times for breadth, LA Times for depth --

Washington Post suffers from inside-the-Beltway syndrome; it disappoints again and again, a shadow of its former self.

[theHandpuppet]

19. Don't overlook the smaller papers...

Like the Charleston (WV) Gazette.
