On the whole, yes; and its analysis helps, too, whether one agrees or not (I often don't - too "wet" for me). Of U.S. dailies, the WSJ is the most objective I've seen, and its presentation is time-saving. "Commentary" is a good monthly magazine of opinion (with a Jewish slant, but of general interest); it's right-of-center. "The New Republic" is a very decent liberal weekly. Excellent U.S. political news coverage and analysis. All these may be too sedate for an "aging hippie". A balanced "Mother Jones" - "National Review" pair might work. Jan Wasilewsky
