Reminds me - I forgot to mention the Wall Street Journal. It was actually a decent source of news, if you kept the proper perspective.  They at least had some journalists who could find and write a story.  I don't travel very much anymore.  The last time I traveled and actually read a few issues of the WSJ, it was clear they had sold out.  You could argue they follow the times, but I think the shift began sometime in the mid-late '90s.
