Whenever I encounter someone who jumps at the first opportunity to criticise "mainstream media", I ask them what their preferred outlets are. I tend to not get a response, which to me is quite telling.

I think a mixture of BBC, cnn, al jazeera, economist, will get a casual reader to a decent spot, and they're all mainstream media. Possibly guardian but emlarhically not their opinion pages (I agree with them, but even so they're gratingly opinionated, hate to think what a die hard conservative will think of them :)
BBC, CNN, and al jazeera are complete trash.
Economist always was good but I have not read it in a while so I can't speak to it. If it has not changed, that would be great.
if mainstream media has gone downhill, why would somebody have a preferred outlet? What's your preferred outlet?
