Democracy Now for the left-wing interest stories you won't get elsewhere.

Conservative business-oriented publications can also be refreshingly blunt about how they see things. It's like they think nobody is looking: Forbes Magazine, The Financial Times, WSJ, sometimes Bloomberg.

I like the shows on MSNBC but they have difficulty reporting on stories that might displease their sponsers such as Chevron and such. They mostly just cover Democrats vs. Republicans horse-race stuff. Several major stories they just skip completely if it could paint the oil industry in a bad light. They get a lot of their money from big oil. But they are the best of the TV news options.
