US papers, despite complaints in the US, are not as openly biased as you might encounter in Europe and elsewhere, i.e. no paper in the states would ever call itself Republican or Democrat. That being said, most have a bias that is detectable if you just read it for a week or so.
As far as what to read, the Washington Post online edition is probably one of the best online papers in the country, but the LA Times and San Francisco Chronicle are also pretty good online. The NY TImes started charging for premium content recently, which is annoying. I've never like the Chicago Trib's website. And of course there is McPaper, USA Today.
To get a good flavor, you really should try to read some geographically diverse papers, not just the big national ones. Dallas Morning News, Seattle Post, Miami Herland, Boston Globe, St. Louis Post, etc.
It is a pretty big country...
