A linklist

Here are some wildly variant news sources, so you can try to get some balance

The World
Al Bawaba, the Middle East gateway, English version
The Age (Australia)
BBC aka the Beeb aka Auntie
The New York Times on the web (You have to register but it's free, you don't have to sign in, and they pretty much leave you alone, so unless you're really paranoid, go for it.)
USA Today

Some (mostly American) left-of-centre sources:
Mother Jones
The Nation
AlterNet
Sojourners
