I like to keep up with news outside canada, but the sites i go to seem to
have a lot of bias or a lot of bs. do any of you have news sites you
recommend?

I have the BBC RSS feed on my Firefox browser. It offers a great (non-US) perspective on the news. And I just started reading the Economist magazine, which again offers a non-US POV, and provides nice commentary to help you understand the deeper issues involved in the daily news.

I also sometimes check CNN, but I choose the international version.

These are all a nice alterntive to my local news which, the other morning, could not say enough about a house fire out in the suburbs. They had a live helicopter report, a phone interview with the fire chief, lots of anchor discussions about it, and updates about how traffic was effected (it wasn't). This was all over a single-family house fire that injured no one and caused no damage to anything else.

Jeez!

msnbc.com is my site of choice becuase I like the cable network. But I also go to BBC and EuroNews. The only real way to get the whole story is to visit more than one news site. All news is slanted one way or another. You just have to read all the slants and draw your own conclusions. Please how only use one sorce for news are simpley being brainwashed. Hell I even read Fox news at times just here wat they bible thumbers are saying about things.
