I can't even with CNN.com anymore. The new format is hella-annoying, half the "story" links are actually videos, and the content is so poor in terms of spelling and grammar that I'm constantly cringing. So, what sites do you guys like? NBCnews? BBC World News US & Canada?

I have the same issues with CNN, but I still mostly go there. I also like the Daily Beast.
A couple of days ago, I signed up with theskimm.com for a daily email of top news stories. So far I really like it! I especially like that they give a little editorial background so I'm not completely lost if I miss the first part of a developing story.
I like NBC News, except that they also have the videos with the stories and I have to wait until I can hit pause before I start reading.
Do you use Chrome? If so, add the FlashBlock extension. It stops videos from playing when a site loads - they only play if you click on them to turn off FlashBlock.
