The WSJournal is pretty good, but not nearly as good as it was before Murdoch took over (same goes since significant downsizing at the Post).

I follow PC for my daily political coverage. Talk about bias!
Seriously though, I'm apolitical and as such the Post doesn't do much for me. Having been a Sun reader for the first 25 years of my life may have something to do with it too.
As far a obtaining an understanding of things, I prefer good magazine articles (The Atlantic, The Economist, National Review, New Republic ...). The Sun and NYT use to have great in depth articles, especially on Sunday. Times change, although a lot more at the Baltimore than the New York paper.
