Is there any news worth reading anymore?

[glazbagun]

I'd like this conversation to remain neutral and focused on the quality of journalism. I am aware that occasionally even the Sun or Mirror will spring a scandal that is in the public interest to report. But...

But as guy who has followed politics, the news, global warfare, local perv networks, council overspend, climate change, spaceflight... whatever today's Great Game is, I don't think I've ever until now got to the point that it's just not worth it. Every news agency seems to have an agenda. Every news article seems completely devoid of enough facts to form a balanced opinion, and more to the point seems blatantly written in such a way as to make it impossible.

I would love to believe that being a well informed member of society with a vote every other year matters, but I am increasingly thinking that the Jeremy Kyle generation actually have the right idea and it's all a load of bks to sell clicks/papers, we should all just eat/drink/be merry.

Is there ANYTHING worth reading out there with regularity any more?

I don't care if it's left or right. Anything written from a point of genuine objectivity and concern regarding regular news is welcome.

At the moment my list has been reduced to:

The occasional post on the blog site waitbutwhy, when the writer tries to dig deep and answer a single question:

The register, which has some writers who at least seem technology literate and are able to comment on issues without seeming to be reading from single word flashcards:

The BBC and traditional news articles seem hopeless these days. Have you found anything out there that seems to bear reading?

It's really getting to the point, personally, where I think this dude has it right. And he writes for the Guardian, so I can't let him win.
