Where do you go online for your "regular" news? By regular news, I mean not just sports, tech or other specialized news.

CNN? FoxNews? MSNBC? ABCNews? CBSNews? Yahoo? AOL? Google News? NYTimes?

And why?

Possible poll to follow.

I don't. I get my news from NPR, and BBC. Online is almost exclusively for tech news.

Mostly Reuters
I use them because they give the news plainly with less spin, and they cover the major national and international news stories well.

Occasionally I will use BBC World, as well.

Here usually. I wouldn't even know there was anything going on in japan now if it wasn't for here and 4chan.

I go to drudge, with a grain of salt.

I use CNN frequently but I like BBC as they often have a fresh take on things. I basically just make fun of FOX whenever I come in contact with it.

Does Jon Stewart count? :)

NYTimes.com - I used to read the actual paper but eventually decided it was too cumbersome and dirty (ink stains hands) and switched to the website.

Mostly television news and newspaper, although the paper isn't very current. (it's fine for the "little news" that never gets reported otherwise)

When there's something big going on, such as the Japan quake/tsunami, I hit many of the major sites, MSNBC, BBC, and CNN, among others.

I hit most of the major sites every day just for the headlines.
CNN, Fox, BBC, NBC, CBS and ABC.
Takes me about 15 minutes or so to get all the major happenings.
I can read through the partisan bullshit of each site and ignore it.
