What news source do you most trust for information about the middle east?

[oberliner]

No sources are totally unbiased, of course, but are there particular sources that are favored by members here?

7. Guardian is pretty good. Most British and European sources

seem to be pretty reliable. I'm not familiar with all of them, not at all, but generally that has been my limited experience. I get most of my stuff linked here from DU.

8. Guardian and Counterpoint, sometimes BBC.

The US corporate media is hopeless.

9. I don't care if he is trolling

It's an interesting question.

Democracy Now, like the poster above. *That's* what a news magazine show should be.

And of course, Robert Fisk.

19. I envy the Brits their BBC.

For the news and so many other reasons.

11. I don't 'trust' any news source...

...but I usually read these on a daily basis:

http://www.haaretz.com/

12. Al-Jazeera

They seem to be generally fair in their coverage.

[RagAss]

15. LinkTV

[ruggerson]

16. Barbara Boxer and Russ Feingold Newsletters

They are both trusted progressives.

Oh wait. THey are pro Israel, therefore they are now the DEVILS SPAWN!!!!!!

Forgive me. I almost lost my politically correct, palestinian sympathizing head.

[DYouth]

17. They give full green light to Israel

AND they don't even mention the word "restraint."

They aren't devil spawn, but they're acting evil on this particular issue.

18. I check in with BBC News online -- I especially like how they always seem

to have side bar stories on world reaction, Q&A about the subject, and other information that I always find mostly interesting.
