Getting Mideast News
Sorry I didn't post this a while back when things were really hot.
It's important to read foreign media if you want to get a better perspective of what's going on. Here are a few:
Haaretz
Al Jazeera in English.
BBC News Middle East
Informed Consent Mideast Historian Juan Cole's blog, which often translates media from abroad.

Thans for the links. I don't know enough about foreign media to know which ones are and are not reputable. I happen to know is that for Aljazeera, aljazeera.com is the fake one and aljazeera.net is the real one.
There's a good documentary about Al Jazeera's coverage of the U.S. invasion of Iraq called "Control Room." It'll give you a sense of where they're coming from.
In terms of bias, I try to read from a variety of sources to get more complete picture. Of course that takes more time...
