I prefer to let Rush, Hannity, and Glenn tell me what news I need to know about...
...but on occaision I also follow Fox, the networks, Commie News Network, the Modern Shitstirring News Bumbling Clowns, hUFF POST, USA today, nyt, wapo, the daily show, the colbert report, bbc, al jazerra, and anyone else that gets my attention.
News is like pro-wrestling
it used to be worth watching because it seemed so real
then after a while it became so obvious that it was just "programing" they decided to shed the cloak of deciept and deliver it for what it is...
...entertainment
After all,
does ANYONE really really really expect me to believe that cHris mAtthews is going to deliver onformation that is any more news worthy than steven colbert or jon stewart?
...at least your heart doesn't break as much when you laugh at news delivered by a comedian

This site .... right here .... PS.com.
It is usually one of the first sites I check in the mornings and throughout the day.
From Billy L-bach's biting satire to the world wide membership of this board, anything and everything that is happening in the world, or here at home (America) can be found here and usually as it's happening.

Daily Reads
Politico.com
Huffington Post
Realclearpolitics (three times a day)
Drudge (decent aggregator if you take it at face value)
Buzzfeed
Washington Post
New York Times
The Hill
La Times
Charlotte Observer
The State
Time Mag
Kansas City Star
The Atlantic
I don't do much TV news, nor talk radio. -- Both of these are agenda driven, and are designed for age groups. If you look into how ratings and ad revenue effect delivery of news, it is discouraging.

NOT CNN.??????
The Actual "Operation Tailwind." & the incorrect story"Valley of Death" by April Oliver & Jack Smith & Peter Arnet which was false & retracted by CNN & Time Warner on July 2, 1998. Stated that the U S Army SOG used sarin nerve gas in the operation, IMHO CNN & Time Warner will run any story that will improve its ratings without factual proof......tom kelly

Never knew about that but after some research, definitely an eye opener.

Jewish world review has some pretty good authors.
National review as well.
I take a daily look at drudge-the headlines are sometimes a little far fetched though.

BBC, Drudge, .................... NPR & CNN
BBC - I like the BBC because they give pretty good coverage everywhere. From their main page you can cycle through the Africa, Asia, US & Canada, etc, etc headlines pretty quickly. If you find anything that interests you - you can goggle for more stories from different sources.
Drudge - Not a news site - but a collection of "odd" stories in one location.
CNN - take it for what it's worth but does have good covered of most places.
NPR - I find to be more like a magazine - more fluff but good stories here and there.
I stopped watching the national news on TV years ago. By early evening it's all old news with a liberal spin.

I like the BBC also, Pete. They read the news. It is news for news sake, not for personal glorification...

Forums like this one and Small Wars Journal for the serious stuff.
Itulip.com for finance/econ.
Broad spectrum of niche online news sources depending on what/where.
Mass Media for mostly getting a sense of what mass media want me to think.

Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty - www.rferl.org - is a good resource for news from the countries of the former USSR and its periphery.
Long War Journal - www.longwarjournal.org - is good for coverage of the war on Islamist terror theater of operations.
