I read the Guardian and Daily Mail comments to get a good balance of liberal and conservative viewpoints.

There is a healthy suspicion on both sites in regards to what US, UK and European governments say based on the fact we've seen this movie before in the Bush/Blair years.

The real anti-Western stuff is on Press TV and RT, which is fair enough, that's what those sites are for.
