I usually look at the BBC, but could do with looking elsewhere as it's just getting worse and worse frown

BBC - for a few reasons

the site layout is easily the best and easy to find stuff

the articles are a reasonable length

I read lots of sections apart from just the news

its not as bad (IMO) as some people make out in terms of bias.

they also have a good mix of multimedia stuff if you need to watch a video.

BBC or daily mail.

If you are not bright enough to filter simple fiction from fact, stay away from the Dm. It apparently confuses the more simple minded of posters on here.

It's all media rubbish at the end of the day.

The BBC for international stuff. Telegraph, Timesonline for domestic news.

BBC and Times Online, until they start charging that is...

Whinges on here of BBC bias are hugely overstated, IMHO.

Pistonheads, BBC News, Telegraph to keep aware of what's going on
plus Spiked (for the rants) and the Daily Mash

Google news is good for getting a 'random' selection of the various biases.

The best news commentary is often here, TBH. Fast, too.
