Forgot my local newspaper too, but generally speaking - outside of local stories, it's all AP stuff that CNN posts verbatum.

I get it from three main sources:

CNN, NPR, and The Daily Show.

Sometimes I read things on Bushflash.com and/or Fox News just to see what the political extremes are up to.

Keith Oberman's blog and show on MSNBC are both pretty good sources of relatively unbiased punditry as well.

edit- forgot to mention my favorite cynical site FuckedCompany.com
War is an option whose time has passed. Peace is the only option for the future. At present we occupy a treacherous no-man's-land between peace and war, a time of growing fear that our military might has expanded beyond our capacity to control it and our political differences widened beyond our ability to bridge them. . . .

Short of changing human nature, therefore, the only way to achieve a practical, livable peace in a world of competing nations is to take the profit out of war.
--RICHARD M. NIXON, "REAL PEACE" (1983)

"Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired, represents, in the final analysis, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, who are cold and are not clothed. This world in arms is not spending money alone. It is spending the sweat of its laborers, the genius of its scientists, the hopes of its children."

Dwight Eisenhower

I try to get my news from a variety of places. I like to be able to see them at more than one just to get differing perspectives. I also try to look for small town papers to see what the views are in those places.

Another I noticed that nobody else had on their list which I check is http://www.de-world.de

Google News is a great way to check the news and also search for recent articles on topics you're interested in. 10/10 <3

[H]ardForum is your one stop shop for all things computer. It's a forum, not a news site but still the first place you should go when researching new computer parts or problems with current ones.

AV Science Forum is a must have link like [H]ardForums is for computers but this deals with all things related to video electronics including HTPC (Home Theater PCs).

Those are three great links to have handy. The rest of my news links are more specialized.
