So I got to thinking today, almost every media outlet these days is affiliated with some sort of political agenda. (As subtle as they may be) There are so many subliminal gestures to spark a way of thinking. How do we get unbiased news? Or do we just pick the ones that align the most with our ideals?

Read news out of the UK. The outlets there have a slant, but they'll tell you what it is instead of pretending to be unbiased. I've found the Economist is a great place to start.

Yeah, or Google news will have multi-hundred links to different coverage of the same story so you can read both sides of the argument. Unless you're $tinkle.
BBC News is pretty impartial, as is the Economist and also the Financial Times. I'm also liking Christian Science Monitor recently, bizarrly enough.. Unless it's a religious issue..

I saw a cbc documentary on these guys. Though some may think they're the equivalent of Fox News, but with the opposite slant, they seem to be more truthful in that they don't just report military approved press releases and stories.
