I'm trying to broaden my news sources, so what do you all think the best place is to get news online?

Ditto that.

If you want just one source though-with google you can sometimes get stories from non-news places such as freerepublic.com and slashdot-I'd roll with Reuters (http://www.retuers.com) or the BBC (http://news.bbc.co.uk)

to round it all out, try http://www.aljazeera.com/fp48.asp . If you ignore all the right wing American ramblings and look at it for what it is, its surprisingly fair and balanced - for now. Apparently it is for sale, and this may be the tipping point to support the radical (I hope not). Its similar to the Washington Post or NY Times in that the reporting is fair, yet the op-ed pieces can be a bit too radical and off the wall.

One U.S. official did acknowledge that Al Jazeera had not only alienated the United States but also angered officials in Saudi Arabia, Iran, Egypt, and many other countries by focusing on internal problems in those nations. “They must be doing something right,” he said.
