Hey, first post on AO/PO...

I'm a fan of The Daily Show and (even more) The Colbert Report, and I guess I'm hungry for sort of a one-stop shop for my news. Something that hits all the headlines on one page, and something that's not as bloated as CNN.com or FOXNEWS.com. An RSS feed or a Dashboard widget is perfectly acceptable, too.

So what do you guys use?

Yeah, Google News is great particularly because you can choose any number of different news sources if you suspect bias or want more information.

The Today's Papers feature on http://www.Slate.com. Summary of the day's biggest stories from all the major papers.

Or you could try http://www.thegoodnews.org/ ;)

Have a look at several different sources to make sure you are getting all sides of a story. In high school years ago, our history teacher asked us to subscribe to both Time and Newsweek, and read the front pages of both the NYT and the Wp every day at the library.

Online you can do prettty much the same thing.
