What is your favorite non-US source for news?
Mine is either "The Guardian" (UK) or Canada's Globe and Mail

http://www.theglobeandmail.com/

Found both through their appearance in search engine results. The Guardian is frequently cited by Democrats.com but I'm curious to see what else DUers have found.

1. Three
International Herald Tribune (www.iht.com)
BBC News (www.bbcnews.com)
Al Jazeera (http://english.aljazeera.net/HomePage)


But if I really want some Anti-American "news" (and I usually don't, because I am a patriot), I just go to www.foxnews.com

7. I know what you mean
Just got back from Montreal (where you get a choice of different mayonnaise with your skin-on fries) and it was great to get a straightforward news cast without the fluff and bull.

I'm thinking for a cheap vacation next weekend I will just disconnect my cable. ;-)

6. Nobody mentioned CBC yet?
CBC, definitely. With that, I'd have to add the BBC as well.

Globe & Mail is my newspaper of choice. The Guardian is also good.

And I simply love The Economist (based in UK). A great read and an excellent way to stay informed on what's going on in the world.

8. Asia Times Online
I have found this to the an excellent source. http://www.atimes.com/atimes/Front_Page.html

Everybody concerned with what is happening in Iraq should read the 7 part series "Fallujah: Inside the Iraqi Resistance" by Nir Rosen
http://www.atimes.com/atimes/others/Fallujah.html

Another verite article of late was "Why the Media failed Americans"
http://www.atimes.com/atimes/Front_Page/FG16Aa01.html

Also worth reading is a synopsis of a book concerning neocon ideology titled "Neo-con ideology, not Big Oil, pushed for war"
http://www.atimes.com/atimes/Middle_East/FH18Ak01.html
