liberals cry about fox news, the weekly standard, national review, etc. conservatives cry about basically every news channel other than fox news, the new york times, washington post, etc. are there any that both sides can agree do not lean left or right and are completely objective?

I go more for the people in a news organization rather than the organization as a whole. I like watching Meet the Press and occasionally Hardball for the debates, most of which have good representation from each side, and I think both moderators are good at calling BS if they think someone is skirting a question (most, but not all the time).

As for other news, it's mainly what I read in the paper or at Yahoo.

Oh, and the Daily Show.

Vegas and RYR (I think) have repeatedly insinuated (at best) that PBS is run by communists and only presents a communist point of view, even though Bush has dumped unGodly amounts of money into it.

Haven't been able to watch it lately due to my nightly work schedule. May have to start DVRing it to keep abreast of all the latest news.

PBS and NPR are great sources. For an international perspective BBC is great. I watch a bit of MSNBC and CNN but not much. I watch The Daily Show for humorous take in the news. I did see McCain last night. Stewart killed him respectfully. The Bush vs Bush was hilarious too.
