News Websites?

[airplanedoc]

What do you guys like for news websites?

I have always used CNN, but cant stand the new site so I am looking for something else. I do like Reuters UK for a more international perspective.

I use MSNBC

It arranges the page based on what is the most popular topic and further arranges them by what genre of news they are (politics, sports, health, etc.)

For national news online I read Fox News and Wall Street Journal. For international news Stratfor is great.

Google News.

It keeps me surprisingly abreast of current events (as evidenced by decent scores on Wait! Wait! Don't Tell Me!) and allows me select multiple reports on an issue to average out bias (kind of a news version of dollar cost averaging).

The number of stories per category is customizable. You can dig deep into a category by selecting it. It's nice.

I rarely use one specific site anymore. Instead, I use an RSS reader (NetNewsWire) and I subscribe to a number of different feeds from different sources. That way I get the news I want without having to deal with all the fluff or excess that doesn't interest me.

+1 for BBC, generally recognized around the world for accurate reporting and little bias...

news.google.com

Great suggestions.

Also, I like the Drudge Report, it's a compilation of many sources and they ALWAYS are first for breaking news.

news.google.com

+1 and the best part is if you have an igoogle account, it keeps track of what you are interested in and starts to give you more news based on your interests.

I just use the news feature of bing or google.

For a laugh i use the onion (i dont support everything found on this site)

For something different, try the front page website:

You can pick off the front pages of pretty much every major (and some minor) dailies around the world.

One note: these are not translated, so you might want to brush up on your cyrillic for instance.

+1 Google news is great and customizable. But the #1 feature is that you can see hundreds of other news stories on the exact same subject. I like the Dollar Cost Averaging analogy. And being able to get non-US perspectives is great... I've become a big fan of the British, Australian and New Zealand press to give me the perspective that the rest of the world sees.

I like Npr.org though I usually prefer to listen as opposed to reading. My local public radio station has the big name NPR programs as well as BBC worldservice and some other programs based outside of the US.
