If all U.S. media are under threat, which foreign media will report the uncowered and uncensored news?

Interested in your opinions.

The Guardian?
BBC? U.K. can be threatened.
CBC? Canada doesn't honor his threats.

Any U.S. media outlets not being cowered?

I do like the Guardian these days.

But it would be good to get started on a list of reliable sources, to be reviewed frequently.

Haven't trusted US MSM for years...except maybe for a sporting event or some Christmas thing...

Edit: Add ABC News from Australia, they seem fairly unbiased to me...

They prefer to cave.
