Well, they're no Al-Jazeera, or Straits Times. :-)

But they do still have a reputation for even handed reporting of
world events which is a cut above most news services. Of course,
as usual with current affairs reporting, you need to get information
from a wide variety of sources, and not just blindly trust any one
source. News reporting is never free of cultural and political biases,
you have to glean the reality out of all the dross by looking at the
topic from a number of angles.

Now they push their agenda as vigorously as Pravda did in the past
