Most credible news sources?

[Bunk]

The Guardian and The Irish Times for print (HTML?). I like The Atlantic for long form analysis, too. Al-Jazeera / BBC World Service for broadcast.

I find that the most impartial news sources are those that confirm my own prejudices

I find NPR skews a bit left, as does CNN these days. FT isn't on the list but would be my paper of choice, along with the Economist.

A profound statement, but man know thyself to seek the truth.
In times of tyranny to speak the truth is a revolutionary act. (George Orwell)

In Oz go for:

Newspaper - The Australian
Online - Sydney Morning Herald
TV - SBS, ABC

Ireland:

Online - Examiner Breaking News, Sunday Indo, Proc

Global:

Online - Indo (Robert Fisk mainly), Al Jazeera, Global Research

Of course all the above in the other sections give global news as well, my favourite being Project Syndicate in Da Paper for the counterbalance of Global Research!! ;-)

Hat tip to Thierry Meysen
The mainstream media all sing from the same hymn sheet.
Over a period of approximately forty years, we have been witnessing the progressive grouping of medias within certain international trusts.
Currently, 14 groups share more than two thirds of the western Press (21st Century Fox, Bertelsmann, CBS Corporation, Comcast, Hearst Corporation, Lagardere Group, News Corp, Organizações Globo, Sony, Televisa, The Walt Disney Company, Time Warner, Viacom, Vivendi).
From now on, the alliance operated by Google Media Lab and First Draft is forging links between these groups, which already enjoyed a dominant position.
The presence in this Entente of the three most important Press agencies on the planet (Associated Press, Agence France-Presse, Reuters) guarantees it hegemonic power. This is without any doubt an «illicit entente», established not with the goal of price-setting, but mind-setting, the imposition of an already dominant thought.

Our own local hero Denis O'Brien is in the process of building his own media Empire of newspapers and radio stations.
Control the message and you control the people.

Bunk, you are probably too dense to realise you are using an old propaganda trick to denigrate and deride the message,
You are working against your own interests , but it was always thus with the braindead.
