Livre d'Or

I agree about the Economist for a news source that's not entirely lefty-progressive but also generally calm and well written and stuff (I won't say they never say anything offensive, but I can't imagine them coming out and saying things like "all disabled people should die" or other directly attacking things).

I also find Al Jazeera English to have reasonably watchable news, from a different perspective to mine, although I suspect they may have rage-inducing opinions about Israel (I don't watch it a whole lot).
