Are you a Fox fanatic? Or an MSNBC addict? Where do you first turn for news? MSM? Ideological sites? Talk radio?
Where do you go to fact check what you hear from your news sources?
One of my goto sites since 1999 is RefDesk.com. It hasn't changed much format-wise since then, but has an amazing list of tools and reference. Kind of like the Craigslist of information. Stripdown, simple, largely devoid of ads.
As for news sources, I don't really have any trusted favorites. Google news streams news by subject to a single page and provides multiple sources for cross referencing and comparing. I don't own a TV or subscribe to cable, so blissfully, the din of hyperbole and sensationalism is low.
