What is your go-to free online news source?
i just know about Google News so I am wondering what else is out there. Yahoo News is a joke as it is mainly gossip. Where do you go to stay informed?

I also use Drudge. You can ignore all the hyperbole (or not some of it is good) and get a direct link to almost every news source on the planet. From the Bangkok Post to the Sydney Morning Herald to France 24, Reuters, AP, WSJ, NYT, far left far right and moderate sources of news and opinion. Even some weird ones like North Korean News.
I also use google news but they're pretty bad IMO.....very US gossipy focus how much Miley Cyrus/Kobe Bryant/Kim Kardashian can one take...... |

I like the aggregators. Flipboard, Zite etc.
You can custom content, sources, interests.

Pelican Parts OT. Frequently more up to date and better expert opinions. Mainstream news sources are crap.

BBC News World. It has no peer for world news.

BBC is my first stop. NPR and Christian Science Monitor are good sources too.

I get a morning digest from Quartz (QZ.com) and one from CNBC's Squawk Box, then I record all 3 hrs of Squawk M-F and watch what I can. All the news I need., no BS.

BBC is about the only real news site left. Everything else has turned to tabloid or fluff. Even CNN seems to be stinking up the screen lately.
