For general news: BBC and NY Times. Their general standard of reporting is good when they're not pushing their local culture war issues - combining the two of them is a good way to be aware of what's agenda-driven and filter it out.
For analysis, Financial Times is excellent but expensive.
For world news, The Economist has extensive coverage with a small-L liberal bent. Focused on business, obviously, but they take it in the broad sense.
For keeping tabs on the American Establishment, the NY Times op-eds. They float their trial balloons there, and you can get an idea of who is currently defined as "mainstream", "acceptable opposition", etc.
For keeping tabs on Establishment progressivism: The Atlantic. This is where ideas bubbling up from the left fringe get dressed up in a fresh new suit for a more respectable audience. Real journalism sometimes takes place there too.
For keeping tabs on the fringe: A&N. Semper Fi to all you autists.
