It's much easier to give some general guidelines, and to say what is NOT trustworthy.
There is so much news out there that no one organization can cover it all. I think that the best approach is to find several sources that you find fairly reliable, but also to check with other sources as needed.
Generally, sources with larger resources, like national network broadcasts, CNN, and, yes, even FOX News, are going to be more reliable than sources with smaller resources like the local network affiliate.
But even then, if the story is happening in the backyard of a local affiliate, they may have the edge in coverage. The Detroit Bailout story for example. National Public Radio is having many of its Michigan affiliates file stories for national airplay.
Infotainment shows, whether they run on news channels ore not, are not trustworthy. I <3 The Daily Show, but it's not trustworthy. If their choice is the truth or the joke, they will go with the joke.
But The O'Reilly Factor isn't trustworthy. Neither is Countdown with Keith Olberman. They may have some good information at times, and they may present stories other sources aren't covering. But they are, at their core, entertainment.

M$Sure, you probably need cable (or check out their site on the net to find their global TV info: http://news.bbc.co.uk/)
Unlike CNN, Fox or the other US-centric cable channels BBC has a history and culture of impartiality, wide coverage and depth investigative reporting.
And in case you're wonding, no, I'm not British.

I agree that the BBC has a better reputation than the major US outlets, but about the "history and culture of impartiality" .... I vaguely recall that they recently investigated themselves and found evidence of political bias.

Yep, BBC.
Here in the UK its still the best, although I have to say SKY news is the one that I watch more. However for impartial news, BBC.

Also, Charlie Rose's interviews are some of the best I've ever seen -- he covers everything from entertainment to fashion to politics and anything really.
I would advise against watching major networks, it's tough to find impartiality these days, my advice would be get a subscription to a newspaper from Russia, Pakistan, Iraq, a couple from the US, the UK and Iran and that ought to give you a good perspective!

When two groups both claim the same report was biased against them, you know the news service in question is trying to be impartial.
