Really? There are no unbiased media sources. Bill Gates of all people should recognize that every publication he mentioned is biased and be aware of, and mention, their perspective. I read some of these publications, but I'm at least cognizant of their leanings and know where to go for an alternative point of view.<p>The Economist is great if you want the Keynesian perspective on economics and not much else. Per wikipedia: According to former editor Bill Emmott, "the Economist's philosophy has always been liberal, not conservative." The bias is clearly stated.<p>Scientific American is purely mainstream science. It represents the cathedral of academia.<p>Slate - Do they even try to be non-biased? Again, wikipedia also describes it as liberal.<p>NYT/WP/FT/WSJ - No comment. Anyone who has read them can form their own opinions.
