If you like those there are usually some excellent financial articles on MSN as well that you might like. One of the main writers (Jubak I think?) was predicting pretty much everything that happened with the economy long before all the other financial writers.

Yeah Google Reader for me. Sync it with Reeder when I'm on the iPhone or iPad.
Also Twitter for the more real-time stuff.
Google News: I use Google News which I have specific searches added for my specific interests (Cyclones, MN Twins, etc.)
RSS: I use Google Reader for keeping up with the blogosphere - especially all of the cyclone blogs
Twitter: I follow too many people/groups/websites but there are an awful amount of links that go up on twitter which provides me with ample reading material.

I used cnn.com from about 99-06 and it became more and more tabloid and fluff news. The opinion pieces there have had less and less of an intellectual outlook and more and more partisan hackery (in both directions).
I switched to NYT.com too and have loved it. Massive upgrade. I also check Chicago Tribune, Sun Times and chicagonow.com blogs occasionally.
Pretty much any site with massive amounts of daily celebrity gossip on the front page is garbage, foxnews.com, msnbc.com, cnn.com etc...
I have always read newspapers. The WSJ, NYT, and WaPo post breaking news, do original reporting, and have other interesting feature articles (like health, science, book reviews). You might poke around some and learn what days certain things are published. In this last Sunday's NYT Magazine I found the main article about a reporter's lifetime of psychoanalysis interesting and oddly engaging (as well as the comments).
I follow a number of blogs in Google Reader. These are not so much my favorite, but ones that generally have a lot of activity or that are a little obscure or don't have a lot of activity (ones that have a fair number of links or original material that I like and might otherwise miss).
I am not a huge fan of the kind of economic analysis they more often post, but the Financial Times Comment (opinion) page and economics blog often have something interesting. Bloomberg and WaPo (Washington Post) recently began a cooperative agreement. I've seen some better and unique reporting on the WP's business page as a result.

I try to visit conservative news sites owned by Americans. I don't care for foreigners trying to exert political agendas.
I have to agree with this. I do not watch the news on TV at all anymore, mainly because it is too depressing. I always get my headlines and local news from CF.
