If you could online visit one site per day to get your news, which would it be?
BBC
Their reporting is straight forward and the least sensationalized.
I'll find reports on American topics that American sites don't / won't carry.
None of them. If you want the truth, facts, you have to read the same article from about five different sources.
Daily Mail

Al-Jazeera

Why? Because it seems the only way to get the REAL story is to step outside our country and see what they have to say. Pretty sad, eh?
For local news? I will scroll through the channels and see what they are saying.
I also look to The Drudge Report

Breitbart.com

NPR an sometimes be a good source. But since Juan Williams was fired - ti's not as good as it was before.
it frosts my nuggets that i have to go to foreign news agencies to get anything like accurate and dispassionate reporting about america. i go back and forth between BBC and al-jazeera.
i think CNN is almost as bad as fox. when i see wolf blitzer's myopic face i want to punch it. the super-lib sites like MSNBC are just as ugly as the right wing vomit factories.
we COULD have good news reporting if we demanded it. apparently we prefer manufactured 'reality'.

Matt Drudge is a conservative.
Try BBC, The Economist, WorldNews, the Independent, or AlterNet.
WSJ.com. Independent news reporting, even independent from the editorial page. Love it. Then I find time to read the whole paper edition.
Interesting question. In my opinion it depends on what kind of 'news' you are looking for. For a generalist news site I'd probably vote for cnn.com but there are many quality new media sites these days that you could really spend a day just listing them all. Overtime I've found that once you settle on your favorite, for whatever reason, it just takes some effort to break out of the daily habit and try new ones. Some I've frequented, but don't go to as my default are thedailybeast.com, forbes.com...and a few others which of course I can't recall while I write this...
Al Jazeera America and Christian Science Monitor provide news stories or information often not found in more standard US news sites.
I have several pages on FB that I like and get news from them every day. I manage FB pages for businesses so I'm on anyway.
I like that I can do everything from one home page.
