Nothing is truly objective.
The international news feeds, AP and Reuters, are the closest. And even those have occasional problems with reporters, journalists and photographers sending in unverified or altered reports/photos. But at least they're pretty good about issuing correctings as soon as they realize they have a problem.
Sources like Yahoo!News and FindLaw combine several news feeds, so you can get multiple versions of the same stories. Same with major news networks like CNN. But again, there will always be some bias, because that's human nature.
Your best bet is to read several different perspectives on an issue, and do some research from others independent sources. Don't just take third-hand summaries at face value. If someone quotes a law or case opinion at you, check it out for yourself.
Then form your own opinion.

You could try out Link TV as a balancing force to Fox. I am not sure if they are actually offering any recent streaming on the news programs (Mosaic is Middle Eastern programming from Israel and a number of Arab countries). You can get it on DirecTV and Dish Network.
I used to enjoy News World International (which carried Canadian, some European and Asian TV), but it's gone now from DirecTV.
The BBC is less biased than American TV but not by much.

Yes, here's an interesting fact from the same website you quoted to me the other day....
The public practice of any religion other than Islam, including Christianity and Judaism, the presence of churches, and open possession of Christian religious materials are outlawed in Saudi Arabia.
Sadeq Mallallah (or Malallah, 1970-1993) was a citizen of Saudi Arabia. In September of 1993 he was beheaded in Qateef for the crime of owning a Bible.

There are none! You must wade through all the offerings and make an informed opinion for yourself. Sorry!
