What I Use for News
Many people get their news from one source or a very few typical sources. People who watch Fox News rarely watch CNN, people who watch CNN rarely watch MSNBC, and many people have gotten away from reading newspapers. The Internet has helped spread different sources for news but many people also don't know where to look besides these same places with .com at the end. I use many different news sources so that I'm subjected to different points of view and details just one source may have left out.
Google News
News pulled from every corner of the Internet. Big names and small. One page and you generally know what's going on in the world.
BBC News
The BBC. Still known worldwide for fair and detailed reporting of news.
Al Jazeera
No matter how much the Western media outlets try to label Al Jazeera as a "terrorist network" or "a mideast tabloid", Al Jazeera has some of the best written and balanced news found. It's refreshing after the political slants the current US News organizations apply to every story and the tabloid fodder they claim is news. Al Jazeera also carrys world news that just watching the nightly news in the U.S. you would NEVER hear about.
Fark
Weird, unusual, and other news with custom user-invented headlines. Often hilarious, often insightful.
Digg.com
Another user generated news site. Also blatently biased at times. Take with a grain of salt and read the actual articles linked.
Daily Kos
Liberal community blog. Members can write and submit their take and opinions on anything news or politics related. Liberal leaning but usually well-written and thought provoking. I don't agree with everything on the site, but it's worth a read.
