What is the most neutral news source?

in your opinion...I've heard WSJ is the most. What about Reuters? Others?
The WSJ is pretty much the only thing I read/watch on a daily basis but I would tend to agree. You would have to exclude their opinion page, however, which is decidedly right wing. They used to have some token leftist columnist once a week but no longer have since the acquisition by Murdoch. Reuters is also good for news, but I couldn't tell you which direction their opinion page leans.
 
I have the WSJ delivered daily, and it does have a conservative editorial page - with the exception being their stance on illegal immigration and amnesty, which they favor.

Also, William Golston is a once weekly liberal columnist, and they also have a once a month editorial by Alan Blinder, who is the biggest idiot "economist" since Paul Krugman. I think they publish him so that the predictable avalanche of letters the next day turn him into the paper's favorite punching bag.
 
I think their position on immigration could be considered conservative in some respects. Its a free market position and certainly pro business. Its not like its because they sympathize with the illegals.

Never read Golstons column. He must have taken Thomas Frank's place.
 
It's in today's edition. I misspelled it yesterday - it's Galston.

And he did take Frank's "slot" - I think his column was "The Tilted Yard"?
