i know allot of people think NPR is biased, perhaps you've heard others voice this opinion. But I've have never heard this in the tone of any interviews. In my opinion they ask the least superficial questions, and they don't bother with sensational rumors. If you try them i think you will be pleased, their morning edition wouldn't have the largest listening base for no reason!

Fact is, you will not get an unbiased report anywhere. This is why.
1) The press is dead set upon getting a Democrat, especially Hillary, elected, and so you can't rely upon them telling anything near the truth about the candidates.
2) The candidates own websites gloss over all their mistakes and errors and only tell you what they want you to think, so that is not practical.
The best way to get the truth is to go to the Congressional Record and get their bills, sponsorships, and voting record, and compare it to your thoughts. In the case of people who never held a national office (like Romney) you have to consider their record as Governor or Chief of Staff, or CEO, or whatever they did.
This time through, the choices are too confusing, because a sitting senator (JFK) has only once been elected President, and that voting has been proven to have been tampered with in the Chicago votes. Former senators stand better chances, but not much better. Research is your best tool.

Unfortunately you need to do some reasearch and consider the source. Try to look at information not provided by the biased main stream media. Good luck and good for you for actually trying to look for the best candidate. So many people vote for the name that sounds familiar.

Yahoo US Presidential Coverage gives a comprehensive biographies and accomplishments of all the candidates including the issues that they carry.

To find out if their statements in debates and such have been true you can go to politifact.com. They investigate what the candidates say and explain how true or false the statements are. You can get an idea of their character this way, I think.

Look up their biography's, it usually tells a lot and sometimes shows the bills they have sponsored and voted for.

I'm pretty sure there's no one website that can help us out. We're going to have to look around. :(
