NSA leaker Edward Snowden: U.S. targets China with hackers

^ This right here is why I don't even bother debating some issues with some people. I just know feelings/pride is going to be hurt and people will be offended. I just wish I could somehow tell them, without telling them, that if they only knew the stuff American-corp/gov does to other countries directly and in-directly they would know what's really behind "Hate Americans because of their Freedom(TM)". But alas, any site that I get my news from will probably considered "Extremist Propaganda Against America" by the folks I'm thinking of.

Would you mind sharing some of those news sites?

If you are a showtime subscriber check out Oliver Stone's untold history of the United States. From his point of view the reaction we get from the rest of the world should be expected. He goes into great detail about why.

I've had a subscription to the Guardian for ages (on my Kindle, I don't live in the UK) because I think it's the best newspaper out there, period. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Guardian#Ownership for how it maintains independence (and why supporting it financially is a good thing).

Not the parent, but a personal example; My father thinks Al-jezeera is "terrorist propaganda".

It may not be terrorist propaganda, but do you think Aljazeera will ever criticise the goverment of Qatar?

Which makes it a great source of non-Qatar news, which is probably 100% of the news I'm interested in.

just the basic huffingtonpost.com, bbc.co.uk(yes really, some partly consider this propaganda), freakonomics.com, HackerNews, Digg(yes I still check it from time to time), LinkedIn-News(this one is more based on who/what I subscribe to follow so this might be a special case)... oh and until GoogleReader disappeared I had TED.com feeds to read from time to time. I need to resubsribe with a different rss-reader. I think these sites are pretty balanced sources of info & news, but I do understand that huffingtonpost leans a very deep left-wing. Not extremist, but pretty deep. Though I don't recall them outright purposely lying about stuff.
