Lots of different ones, in order to get different points of view

http://news.bbc.co.uk/

http://www.ard.de/

and sometimes CNBC or Fox but these are more entertainment than news

I understand where you're coming from, and had the same opinion until I had a very heated discussion with one of their employees (who I met in a road cycling training camp in Spain). He kept on claiming that they were unbiased and I thought "bla bla bla".

When they put the (English speaking) channel onto the London cable network I thought I'll give it a try and was surprised / impressed by the quality and also to see lots of familiar journalists who used to be at the BBC or CNN before (such as David Frost or Riz Khan). No channel had better coverage of the French,  German and US elections - not even their national channels.

When anything in the world happens, it seems that Al Jazeera is there first - such as last week's avalanches in Switzerland, the attack on the Togo football team in Angola and many other events.

They don't rely on advertising and are a pet project of the Emir of Qatar who has the vision of taking on the BBC, CNN and the like and beating them on quality.

The facts that they keep on running into trouble with different Arab governments when criticizing them and that the large cable networks in Israel dropped CNN (which they thought was too biased) and replaced it with Al Jazeera are signs that they are less biased than many people who have never watched them think.

see, those girls are TOO pretty- they are like models (nothing wrong with that btw)

it's just, when it comes to a hot newscaster, she should have that "hot librarian" type quality in the sense is that they should have some sort of hidden sexuality that one could hope to unlock

in other words, there sexuality should be more subtle
