NEWS

The Guardian (publicly funded paper in UK) BBC (a source the rest of the world trusts) Al Jazeera (like the BBC, but closer to the action) Democracy Now! 90.7 FM 6-7 am, 9-10 am, M-F The best hour of news everyday it's on Frontline (documentary series on PBS, lots of foreign policy, corporate issues, etc.) History News Network should more accurately be called history AND news. Historians and experts post articles on both. Pick a President Project Vote Smart (a good starting point for comparing candidates records)
