It's hard for me to reconcile with the NYT after their role in 2002-2003 of building public consensus for the Iraq war with front page stories that turned out to less than credible.

Right now, my main news sources are an amalgam of Reuters, BBC World Service, Al Jazeera English, Financial Times, NHK World / Channel News Asia.

No source is perfect and think it is a wise approach to even look at obviously biased sources with the understanding of what they are and see where the propaganda diverges and what the message is they want you to take from it.

Reading any one of these alone still gives you a skewed picture. The value is in the combination with an understanding of the motivations behind the voice you are hearing.
