Subject says it all. What other messageboards or newssites do you visit? I'm looking to broaden my horizons past CNN.

I'm especially interested in the conspiracy theory ones, 'cuz sometimes you just need a good laugh.

BBC, Fox, CNN, Drudge (I like Drudge because they link to all the news networks).

I always look at local papers
http://www.kdhnews.com/
http://www.statesman.com/
http://www.chron.com/
http://www.star-telegram.com/

Then I look at the news site from a couple of the local TV channels
http://www.kxxv.com/Global/category.asp?C=50703&nav=menu509_3_1
http://www.kcentv.com/
http://www.news8austin.com/content/top_stories/?SecID=1

Then I look these other news sites:
http://abcnews.go.com/
http://www.msnbc.msn.com/
http://www.foxnews.com/

Then after that if I need a good chuckle I go to:
http://www.cnn.com/

Used to sift through these, but lately they're a pain to navigate through.

I like Drudge too, because of all the other links mostly.

I have RSS News Feeds such as from the BBC.
http://newsrss.bbc.co.uk/rss/newsonline_world_edition/front_page/rss.xml

I like using RSS, it's more like a list of newspaper articles and I chose to view the list, newest ones first.

In my opinion, FireFox handles RSS better than IE does.

BBC News
Australian News Site
German News Site
Reuters

Not a news site but it's fun to see what our whacky Russian cousins are up to.  English Russia
Do not attribute to malice what can be easily explained by incompetence, fear, ignorance or stupidity, because there are millions more garden variety idiots walking around in the world than there are blackhearted Machiavellis.

http://uplink.space.com/ubbthreads.php has some very interesting threads, usualy with some specialists participating.  Some pretty funny humor too, e.g.
