Best News Site?
I used to be a big fan of Yahoo, I still like it as a search engine. Lately though, I've been very turned off by the headlines they have been giving the public. For instance... Dice Stacking Trick... Yahoo users share their losses and how they deal with it. So I'm interested in resetting my homepage, and deicded to go to the gamingforce members to see where you got your most reliable, interesting, and of course applicable news to you and your interests. Suggestions?

I use a few news sites.
bbc.co.uk/news - for the more serious side of the news skysports.com - for everything sport related digitalspy.co.uk - for all my entertainment needs gamespot.co.uk - all the games news that I need tv.com - for all news on TV shows on the other side of the pond There's nowhere I can't reach. ![]() |
digg.com is it pretty much ]:
This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it. |
I use almost exclusively The New York Times or BBC News. BBC has good international coverage, and the NY Times is great for New York-related stories.
Every time I load up CNN.com and look at their most popular stories, a little part of me dies inside. I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body? |
When I want some further analysis, I use economist.com.*
*The Economist is a well-respected world wide British-based magazine. I was speaking idiomatically. |
The easiest way is to pick the most respected newspapers in each country or, for regional news, picking smaller, well-respected papers. Mine:
National: The Wall Street Journal The Washington Post (if you're cheap) Regional: Albuquerque Journal Anchorage Daily News Chicago Tribune Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel New Hampshire Union Leader Orlando Sentinel Pittsburgh Post-Gazette Portland Press Herald Saint Louis Post-Dispatch Saint Paul Pioneer Press The Arizona Republic The Denver Post The Fargo-Moorhead Forum The Salt Lake Tribune The San Diego Union-Tribune The Seattle Times The Wichita Eagle International: Cameroon Tribune Die Zeit Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung Il Giornale Il Messaggero Jornal Do Brasil Kommersant Le Messager Milliyet O Estadao De Sao Paulo Rossiyskaya Gazeta Sankei Shimbun Svenska Dagbladet Sydsvenska Dagbladet The Australian The Courier-Mail The Daily Telegraph The Times Yomiuri Shimbun Zaman What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now? |
I tend to frequent cnn.com and http://www.voanews.com/english/portal.cfm
They're pretty good. That, and I listen to BBC radio a lot. How ya doing, buddy? |
I would say www.bbc.co.uk/news for news, and www.bbc.co.uk/sport for sport.
www.digitalspy.co.uk for more or less everything else. What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

I have also been disappointed with Yahoo recently. I changed my homepage from Yahoo to the New York Times, which I highly suggest. The stupid headlines on Yahoo are a huge turn off, especially when I open Firefox and the headline is "OOOOO NEAT PEN TWIRLING TRICK!". Sigh.

I look at Google News probably more than anything, but you get a fairly small picture of what's going on and sometimes the site takes a while to update. Totally agree on Yahoo, I used to read their news section all the time. I can't stand Yahoo's portal anymore.
I also use The Arizona Daily Star, but just for local news. I wish we had a relatively slantless news source. I understand why from a business standpoint, but I really wish the Associated Press would become a great Internet news portal. There's nowhere I can't reach.

I am a news junkie, or more precisely, I am a NPR junkie. Naturally, my first choice in terms of the news site is NPR.org , and local station KJZZ.org. Since my local station doesn't have a all day schedules, I often uses the the site to catch up on some of the show that I missed in the day.
