Noam Chomsky covered this problem extensively in Understanding Power. You will do well to read it in whole, but here's a few helpful hints: - All papers are biased in favor of their stake holders. - Some are better at hiding it. - Business sections are obfuscated with business-speak, but are way more factual because business people expect to be able to make business decisions. - The best cross-section of news is a selection of newspapers with stakeholders who are not aligned or even clearly at odds. - Papers from different countries often have different stakeholders. - Having friends in the middle of the action is a great source of facts. Only works well if you have lots of such friends (e.g. if your name is Noam Chomsky).
