You will be extremely hard pressed to find anything without some sort of slant, though the AP is probably the closest thing to it.
The Times is still among the most trusted sources for in-depth coverage; their perceived slant might be due to the topics they choose to put more focus on.
- OJFord 10y agoWhen HN readers; particularly those that can be reasonably assumed to be American, say 'The Times' - do you refer to The Times [0], or to The New York Times? I'd have assumed the latter, if The Guardian weren't mentioned (or posted) here so frequently. (And I'm not aware of any other Guardians.) [0] - https://thetimes.co.uk https://thetimes.co.uk
- jhbadger 10y agoDefinitely the New York Times. While The Guardian has some readership in the US, I don't think The Times (London) has much -- perhaps unfairly, it is seen as a rather provincial newspaper rather than a "world" newspaper.
- pmyteh 10y agoIt used to be the Empire's paper of record, and one of the most prestigious in the world (if fairly stuffy, conservative and Conservative). Now, sadly, it's a shadow of its former self. The Murdoch years have seen its journalism, and its reputation, slowly fall. It's now positioned somewhere between the Daily Mail and the Telegraph (which itself seems to have lost much of its quality coverage over the past 20 years).
- oxguy3 10y agoThe Guardian actually has a pretty great U.S. edition -- I'm a proud supporter.
