    You won't find unbiased sources. But with a little research its not hard to uncover those biases and put them in context, while cross-examining them with other sources.

    Papers I read on a regular basis:
    From Canada:
    The Tyee (www.thetyee.ca)
    The Globe and Mail (www.globeandmail.com)
    The National Post (http://www.canada.com/nationalpost/index.html)
    The Toronto Star (http://www.thestar.com/)
    The Montreal Gazette (http://www.canada.com/montrealgazette/index.html)
    The Vancouver Province (http://www.canada.com/theprovince/index.html)
    The Vancouver Sun (http://www.canada.com/vancouversun/index.html)
    CBC (www.cbc.ca)
    Macleans (www.Macleans.ca)

    Foreign:
    Washington Post (http://www.washingtonpost.com/)
    NY Times (http://www.nytimes.com/)
    Fox News (http://www.foxnews.com/)
    CBS News (http://www.cbsnews.com/)
    The Guardian (http://www.guardian.co.uk/)
    The Atlantic (http://www.theatlantic.com/)

    I usually also keep up with several Political Science, Economics, and Business Journals, but I'm not really sure where to conveniently find these outside a University setting.

    The guardian has a bias toward the labour party.
    A better UK paper is the independent - how independent they are remains a debateable point but for uk papers I sugest you look at private eye that really is independent and completely factual private eye calls the gaurdian - the grauniad the independent is a much better newspaper
