Primarily NOS (public channel thus state funded, but independent from politics) and RTL7 (commercial channel, business).

News coverage is done with proper journalism, though the NOS seems to have a slightly more leftist stance in journalism now and then due to some of its employees, but that's subtle, while RTL7 has a lot more economic and business related news and often provides the perspective of the market, the shareholders and different economical models.

However, both channels usualy pretty much portray the events in the same light despite of dissimilar backgrounds. Hence I know they're both pretty trustworthy, even if some specific journalists have clear preferences.

Beyond that, nationwide newspaper (Algemeen Dagblad, perhaps not the best on all counts, but the comics are great and it's a reasonably serious and self respecting newspaper - not as good as NRC, but oh well, not really biased either). Online there's Nu.nl. Of couse a lot of press releases in newspapers and online come straight from AP, Reuters and ANP.

Then there's a number of dutch actuality (talk) shows. Some with a more clear social democrat view (Pauw & Witteman), some with a more central right (christian democrats) (Knevel en van den Brink) and more neutral shows where a variety of hosts work together. Unfortunately, there's no pure liberal shows, aside from one on RTL7, whose problem is that he pretty much lets anyone on who pays to promote their company (and without a background check, he ended up hosted scammers in good faith of the trustworthiness of these companies).

Then there's several public channel organizations with different political backgrounds (left, centre and right) who work together and host some programs (sometimes on a different host on a day by day basis): 2Vandaag, which has indepth documentaries on widely varying issues. All of the news channels are quite scrutinous about official news and you won't have any of the US type "journalism", which is intended to undermine other political parties or to skew public opinion wildly. There are a few news papers with that tendency, but I don't care for those. All in all, I try to keep a wide range of sources available, but I don't trust sensationalist companies for providing accurate news, nor very strongly socialist shows due to not providing a fair hearing.

Sometimes watch Flemish news (also of good quality, scrutiny, wide variety of topics and indepth) and the Belgian actuality show TerZake. For other international reports, if there's some important event going down live like Lybia or 9/11, usualy refer to BBC World first and CNN International second.

Beyond that, I look up my own information on the web and try to avoid sites that have a clear political or social dominance agenda (interest in distorting facts). Of course that means that Wiki is a primary source, but through you can typically find other neutral sources as well. In some cases it's interesting to look up the extreme sides of perspectives and see what kind of points they're making. Typically you can tell pretty easily when they're not being objective by the type of argumentation used and general tone.
