Must be free and in english. I have been using CNN World News, but it’s basically a view of what’s happening in the world through the eyes of Washington. I don’t really want to hear everything Bush and Condoleezza Rice said yesterday.
Thanks for your help!
After searching previous questions here, there are several recommendations for the BBC. Any comments on them? Thanks.
Comments on BBC, they're a great news source, one I check every day. But when you read/ listen to them you need to remember that they've got their pet biases just like other news agencies. So my recommendation of what news sources to check- by all means, check the BBC, but also check other sources as well (give you a more overall, correct view of what is going on). I personally check the BBC, Jerusalem Post (very middle east point of view), and MSNBC World News.
Another new source that I absolutely love is STRATFOR. They provide very very educated and unbiased analysis of events. It's crazy just how great they are. Here is a URL for a recent article if you care:

(to get everything they offer, yes it's a subscription, but they're free e-mails are outstanding!)
Cheers!

In his new book, More Natural Cures Revealed, Kevin Trudeau now releases the material previously censored by the U.S. Government: the specific product brand names that Trudeau believes can be used to prevent, treat, and cure disease. The United States Federal Trade Commission censored Kevin Trudeaus first book, Natural Cures “They” Dont Want You To Know About. That book still saved lives. Hundreds of thousands of people have reported better health and the curing of their diseases without drugs and surgery after reading it. Now, Kevin Trudeau takes on, and goes head-to-head against, governments worldwide, the international pharmaceutical medical cartels, and even the news media. He reveals for the first time never-before released secret information about his covert involvement with Big Pharma, the food industry, governments in over sixty countries, and some of the richest and most powerful families, people, and private organizations in the world. He is being called the most daring whistleblower of corporate and government corruption of all time. Risking potential criminal prosecution, Trudeau now releases the material previously censored by the U.S. Government: the specific product brand names that Trudeau believes can be used to prevent, treat, and cure disease.
