Comprehansive news site on the internet?

I want to get a picture of the global news of the day.
Is there any such site?
I don't want to surf dozens of different sites. And i don't want a one sided view of the truth.
I would use a different site for local news.

looks like it does a reasonable job for me, the best so far. any better ones out there?

Try the BBC's site. It's what I usually use.


http://news.bbc.co.uk/

I like news.google.ca. You may prefer news.google.com.

-Ray.

i used
http://www.ananova.com/news/index.html?eywords=World&menu=news.latestheadlines.worldnews
for a bit and it drove me nuts.
from where i stand the "world" news is very uk oriented (but dry and fair as you said)

so i tried
http://news.google.ca/news/en/ca/world.html
this is a nice comprehensive report of what newspapers in the states are saying about the world, but not at all what i am looking for.

so i am now using http://news.bbc.co.uk/
i find it very sad that this is what my father bored me to tears with as a youth, surely there is something better than the bbc out there.

I like cnn, I don't think that it is too biased and there's loads of info.

more winges about the bbc: if i look at technology or science or whatever then it goes back to being a local report. these parts interest me more than the headlines.
