TImm: my 2 pennies...
The NY Times would be considered more liberal but it is a great paper. There is no paper in this country that does a better job reporting foreign affairs. If you dont read it, your missing out. The NY Times Science section is very good also. I cant think of a paper that has better writers.

The Wall Street Journal is also excellent... what happens down the road remains to be seen.

I also think the guy on FOX on Sunday morning does an excellent job interviewing. He is very well read and if a question yields an answer he did not expect, he is immediately on it with unscripted questions that are very good. He is excellent at catching contradictions. The guy is very good at this.
Fox craters with the O'Reilly and that other entertainer. And will someone please kick Lou Dobbs in the groin. CNN is just horrid. Charlie Rose on PBS is very good for late night stuff as long as he does not have one of his artsy/fartsy friends on. I also enjoy George Will. One of the few conservatives commentators that actually understands science.
