From my experience the BBC is a good source... Better than any mainstream outlet in the U.S. For example... For every time I've seen a 5 min report on an Israeli child maimed by a suicide bomber, I've seen a report of equal depth on a Palestinian child maimed by an Israeli bomb/soldier. You'd never see the latter on any mainstream American news network...
As for newspapers - don't know about in the U.S. - but here in the UK The Guardian and The Independent are way ahead of the rest in unbiased coverage, though I'll admit that the opinion pieces in The Guardian do tend to tilt towards 'lefty issues' such as human rights, civil liberties, et cetera... But they do have some right-wing opinion pieces, too... Just not as many, admittedly...
Any news I get that is based in the U.S. is from alternative sources, such as Democracy Now! and Guerilla News Network (that just links to articles by many different news agencies).
I do watch the news feeds of Bill O' Reilly, Hannity & Colmes, John Gibson, Brit Hume and all those nuts on the Fox News website - but more for laughs with my colleagues at work, since they pretend to be 'fair and balanced'. Can be hilarious at times... You'd never get away with such biased coverage this side of the pond.
Anyway... I think if you're serious about getting news - browse different sources... Don't stick to any one outlet. Google News is good for that...

I don't trust any new source to be unbiased; I believe unbiased media only exists in theory. As a result, I generally peruse a variety of sources, with NPR probably as my most trusted. This variety includes: NPR, Fox News, Al Jazeera, Reuters, watchingamerica.com, and the Detroit News.

The problem with the media is that they only cover the story that will grab the mostheadlines. They also cover the story in ways that will grab those most headlines. This means the media isn't reliable. I like to listen to talk radio to get the real stories then do my own research.

CNN:
I don't trust anything as far as Media Opinion ... I watch news to see what's going on. Fox is Hypocritical, Bias and Republican.

Although BBC and NPR has the best reputation for being unbiased, I usually get my news from CNN. Unfortunately, local newscasts are a joke.

cbc, ctv, global, abc, nbc, cbs bbc world service.
Don't trust anything Fox news ever reports and CNN can get a little hysterical in times of crisis.
