CBC http://www.cbc.ca/news/
BBC http://news.bbc.co.uk/
CNN http://www.cnn.com/

I get my news from everywhere.

But my favorite is the Wall Street Journal.

I find Israeli media also strikingly more credible than many US and foriegn sources (and I'm not talking about Isra-Pal issues, but general economic and political insight).

Most definitely the BBC. All American news sources, I find, are terrible. the BBC is able, often, to report on American domestic affairs better than the Americans can. I also find they have much less bias and are just a better news organization.

i avoid television news like the plague. nothing but soundbytes/talking points from overpaid dildos. the closest i come to watching news on tv is the daily show.. quality satire there.

much of my main news/headlines comes from skimming threads on various right- & left-wing political forums... which i usually investigate further with google news.

my favorite news source is cursor.org. it is a slightly left-leaning collection of links to news stories around the web.

also, i'm a legal/judiciary news junky, so i check FindLaw's Legal News a lot.

for anti-spin, i like factcheck.org , spinsanity & the daily howler.

for commentary, my current favorite is the NY Press... particularly Matt Taibbi's articles:
Well, That Was Fun (about huge, ineffectual protests)
The Liberal Case Against John Kerry (commentary on Kerry's convention speech)

or how about Alexander Zaitchik on the Bush twins' convention speech:

"The twins were so bad that people who spent the rest of the week yelling obscenities at the screen were left mute. Lifelong feminists felt misogyny for the first time; Republican strategists experienced pangs of shame; Delta sisters around the world winced; Barbara Bush, the elder, let loose an embarrassed drop of pee into her Depends."

I'm also a fan of Greg Palast.

I beg to differ.

Mostly from CNN or HRT (http://www.hrt.hr/vijesti/). They often have news about various idiots around the world. Just now I'm looking at some british "artist" that spend 9 days underground to feel how it is to be an earthworm. I also find some interesting news from newspapers that I haven't seen anywhere else, like the development of the russian supersonic nuclear missile "holod".

Posted by occrider on Sep-20-2004 13:50:

bbc
reuters
WSJ
CNN
Economist
BussinessWeek

And my favorite:

Fark.com (totalfark actually ... talk about information overload )

Posted by MisterOpus1 on Sep-20-2004 15:19:

NY Times
Washington Post
WSJ
LA Times
SF Chronicle
Boston Globe
The Nation
Fox News (occasionally)
CNN
Weekly Standard (for weekly giggles at the neocons)

Blogs:

freerepublic (conservative)
dailykos (liberal)
atrios (liberal)
talkingpointsmemo (josh marshall from Washington Monthly)

Just some off the top of my head.
