I'm interested in finding out what other countries think of what's going on in the US and am altogether sick of media spin within the US. If you're limited to English, what news sources are available? Any foreign media you try to stay up with?
You don't go to any one news source. You read them all to hear their claims. then you start looking to the actual source of what the are talking about.
If they are talking about a bill, you go read the actual bill.
If they are talking about the economy, then you go to the actual sites that report specific economic activity (The actual numbers).
If they are talking about some canidates tax record being released, you go read the actual tax record.
If a news site makes a claim, you verify the validity of it by checking the sources down to the origin.
If you aren't doing that and merely asking for a site that matches your political preference, then I can't help you. If I want garbage spit into my ears, I turn on the TV and it doesn't matter which country it is, all of them spew garbage, it just smells different.
international herald tribune (Paris), owned by NY Times so there are some common articles
BBC
Times of London
The Independent (UK)
Guardian (Manchester, England)

I used to watch the Hispanic media but its hard to sit through 20 minutes about Chupacabra "news" or vision of Mary on toast .
So now I go BBC .
