Default What is your source of international news?

For my international relations class I have to read a paper that has a good international perspective. The recommended papers I can choose to read are the NY Times, the Financial Times or the Economist. Which one do you prefer? Oh and just a side note; I don't want a paper full of liberal bs so I guess I'm asking for personal preference between the Financial Times and the Economist. thanks.

I don't really know, hopefully not. I figured the Financial Times would be because it's a European paper but I've been looking at their website and haven't seen a bunch of anti rich people crap yet so I don't know.

Yeah its tough, almost everything out there as far as media, especially periodicals, are left leaning if not totally biased. Just goes with the territory I guess. Good luck with the paper bro.

Ok screw the economist. You have a be a subscriber to be allowed to view the articles on their website. The NY Times is just bad, so what do yall think about the Financial Times. I don't think I have much choice so I hope it's good.

I'm thinking if you're 19 and looking for FINANCIAL advice, you shouldn't be so worried about "liberal" or "conservative".

I'm not looking for financial advice. For my class I need to stay up to date on international issues and the professor expects us to read one of those three papers daily before class. He gave us the option of reading the NY Times, the Financial Times, and the Economist. I need to read one to know about international policies and politics and things of that sort and I would prefer to read a paper that isn't a raging liberal publication.

So did you find out the NYTimes was liberal by reading it or did Fox News tell you so?

I will make up my own mind and I have skimmed through their websites but I was interested in people's preferences and opinions.

My news source is SBN!!!!!!!!

Kidding.

I watch as much and as many different ones as I can. Then I decipher it out and make a complete unbiased story out of it.
