I make it a point to avoid the opinion section of any newspaper.
I prefer the Christian Science Monitor myself when it comes to news. They're a bit slow since they don't have the big resources of a CNN or New York Times but they've always had high quality when it comes to their articles and they've always avoided sensationalism. Personally I think news should be dry and dull as hell. That's why I avoid publications such as the New York Post (which is no doubt the worst mainstream paper out there) and also online media such as Huffington Post or Gawker.
