There is no such thing as non-biased news sources. Any time you throw a human into the mix to make decisions, they are going to make decisions based on their personal views: What stories to cover, what stories not to cover, how to edit a quote or interview, how to phrase a headline, etc
The most effective way of getting the “whole” story is by viewing news sources and IDENTIFYING the bias, so that you can see through it to the news underneath. This is easier to do with places that are open about their biases. I generally compare and contrast CNN, BBC, Fox, and Al Jazeera. While they all certainly have their slant, by comparing them, you can usually see what “really” happened.
The only channel on TV that provides fair and balanced news is Fox News.
There are very few Newspapers and news magazines who do this and I don’t even know which ones they are. I stopped subscribing to my local newspaper long, long ago.
Online I go to Townhall.com and Newsbusters.org. You can get lots of other links there.
