The Economist www.economist.com This is an excellent source for news. I want to get the actual magazine subscription, but It's uberexpensive. My best news site.

CNN.COM www.cnn.com This is a good overallweb page. Somewhat dumbed down for mass distribution, but still a great source for news.

BBC News www.bbc.co.uk Them Brits did it again, they're better then we are. I prefer this to CNN and all the others short of economist.

Associated Press www.ap.org Since they're basically the printed news source, this is the place to go first.
