im a big fan of the washington post, if only because it was my hometown paper and i'm used to it-- still, it has its own biases. top coverage on dc/government stories.

the new york times is the standard against which all other papers are measured, though-- it's like the pope of american newspapers, ha ha ha.

for international news however, the christian science monitor (yes, that christian science) has excellent coverage. it's a one-of-a-kind paper, really, check it out online.

wall street journal is generally very good as well-- not sure now that it's owned by rupert murdoch. they've always been a conservative-leaning paper, but now??
