Matt:
I like Newsweek, MPR, and Google News.

However, the instant availablitity of every piece of news, mostly bad, doesn't seem healthy.  It's not news when someone goes for a walk and has a nice time.  It is news when they get beaten and robbed on that walk.

This distorts our sense of reality for the worse.

bspachman:
It's all about RSS for me...

NYTimes for the 'Liberal' spin
Chicago Tribune for the 'Conservative' spin

...with a healthy dose of NPR thrown in for when I just want to listen to something instead of reading.

But traditional media? Not for a long time now...

At work I have Reuters and Bloomberg news feeds. Apart from that I rely on http://news.bbc.co.uk/

I haven't bought a newspaper for years and since moving to Tokyo last year I haven't owned a television. There's far too much coverage of so-called "celebrities" in the mainstream press, and far too little serious, investigative journalism. UK TV news is even worse, with all the interviews being with other media types. On the 24 hour news channels there's constant speculation and prediction by pundits instead of real reporting on factual events.
