Can't stand TV and the local paper isn't that trustworthy, so it's all on line.

   MSNBC
   CNN
   BBC
   Reuters
   The Register
   Ars Technica
   OS News
   Salon
   sometimes Al Jezeera
   SFGate.com for local stuff
   News Forge
   SciTech Daily News
   and to clense the palatte, The Philosopher's Magazine On Line

Yes, I have too much free time. BBC is especially good for world news.
