So I ask this because I often find myself wandering around on news sites trying to waste time at work, and wonder which news sites people like most.

I use CNN.com but I'm tired of it... too many "headline" stories that remind me of FOX News. I just want pure information, and have been trying nytimes.com.

I follow a bunch of different news outlets on twitter, so whichever shows up there first is the one that I go to.

I read everything through an RSS reader.

Get most of my "headline" coverage from CNN, BBC, KCCI, The Daily Beast Cheatsheet, and the Des Moines Register.

Without getting too political, for somewhat non-partisan opinion and more in-depth articles, I like to read The Economist daily blogs (in particular Democracy in America, Lexington's Notebook and Free Exchange) and ProPublica.

You gotta check out good ole' Drudgereport once in awhile!

As with an earlier poster, I get most through RSS feeds. Mine are set to my iGoogle home page & "Feeds" tab on my browser. All the local TV stations, the Reggie, some local blogs, etc.

I use Netvibes, which I just migrated to from Google Reader.

I use Google Reader to pull in RSS feeds from a few dozen web sites. My main news sources are the New York Times and Google News. But I read a lot of blogs for more specialized topics and Twitter for the up-to-the-second stuff.
