english-language news media

We know about the BBC:
BBC News - Home
The BBC is a quasi-autonomous corporation authorised by Royal Charter, making it formally independent of government, and required to report impartially. It has been accused of political bias from across the political spectrum. Internationally, the BBC has been banned from reporting from within some countries which accuse the corporation of working to destabilise their governments.

and the World Service Learning pages:

And we know about CNN:
CNN.com International - Breaking, World, Business, Sports, Entertainment and Video News

But there are others.
From the UK:
Sky News - First For Breaking News From The UK And Around The World

And from the USA:
Fox News - Breaking News Updates | Latest News Headlines | Photos & News Videos
Critics have stated that Fox News Channel promotes conservative political positions[4] and biased reporting.[5] Commentators, news anchors, and reporters at Fox News Channel have responded that news reporting and political commentary operate independently of each other, and have denied any bias in news reporting.[6]

But what about:
Al Jazeera English - Live US, Europe, Middle East, Asia, Sports, Weather & Business News
In the 2000s, the network was praised by the Index on Censorship for circumventing censorship and contributing to the free exchange of information in the Arab world, and by the Webby Awards, who nominated it as one of the five best news web sites, along with BBC NewsNational Geographic and The Smoking Gun. It was also voted by brandchannel.com readers as the fifth most influential global brand behind AppleGoogleIkea and Starbucks. In 2011,Salon.com said Al Jazeera's coverage of the 2011 Egyptian protests was superior to that of the American news media, while U.S. Secretary of StateHillary Rodham Clinton also opined that the network's news coverage was more informative, and less opinion-driven than American journalism.[5]
