Ok, here are the main news sites I check:

Drudge Report
Foxnews.com
CNN
NewsMax
Refdesk

Today, I found:
UnitedStatesNews

And, I've also been looking at:
Salon

What sites do you use?

I tend to do alot of reading on nationalreview.com it is conservative based, but the authors are not afraid to speek their mind.

Also i love the word of the day, yet another morning brain stimulation.

check it out.

I guess I go to your run of the mill news sites - foxnews and drudge.

I also like to get a left leaning slant in, so I'll check out the Washington Post or the AP.

I find myself reading the "odd news" alot on Yahoo, probably to keep things all in perspective

And when I really want to make myself mad, I drop in to judicialwatch.org They'll keep you posted on all the illegal and questionable activites of our government and related entities

The only site worth anything is fark.com.

I usually check Reuters, CNN, USAToday, ABC and MSNBC on a daily basis. The NPR website is good too.

The Onion

Their sources seem a bit questionable...

foxnews.com
worldnetdaily.com
drudgereport.com
opinionjournal.com
townhall.com
worldtribune.com
www.stratfor.com
frontpagemag.com

Ditto for most of the web sites...I also agree about the pop ups. What I want to do is thank everyone for their suggestions.
I have found one list to investigate a Google search http://groups.google.com/news/

Perhaps someone can use this. :

Some other news search engines:

http://www.daypop.com/
http://news.altavista.com/
http://www.northernlight.com/news.html

CNN
Salon
Washington Post
Reuters

I really like the opinion pieces at Commondreams.org

and if I need information on foreign issues, I try to look at sites that are local to the issue.

Just found a good one:

Query Server News Search

Put in your term, and it searches CNN, The Independent, The Guardian, USA Today, BBC News, The New York Times, The Los Angeles Times, ABC News, and The Washington Post.
