I'd also like to give a shout-out to The Economist, which is even-handed and in-depth, if often dreadfully boring. The Washington Monthly (whose blog is now headed by Kevin Drum, formerly of Calpundit) is a fantastic in-depth source on American politics. Online, there are a lot of different blogs and news aggregators, some of which (like Joshua Micah Marshall's Talking Points Memo and Wonkette) rival the editorial page of any major newspaper in the U.S. 

Good journalism still exists. It just isn't where it used to be -- so you have to go looking.
