Just curious... I'll allow up to 3 choice since you guys probably get your news from more than one place.

On my Google homepage I have the New York Times, Wall Street Journal, and BBC.  I also regularly check realclearpolitics.com, as well as the website for the Times-Picayune (New Orleans daily) and Newport-Now.com (Internet news blog for my hometown.)  I'm sort of a news junkie.  I do not watch any TV news, however.

Google news, primarily; NPR in the car; and NY Times and local rags.  I used to be a religious Daily Show watcher but I haven't had the time for that in a year.

NPR, BBC, NYT, local paper (sucks), Economist sometimes, I guess CarSPIN, though it's hardly a source of good unbiased reporting.

Cristian Science Monitor?

I visited the Christian Science Center in Boston.  They have a beautiful inverted stained glass globe that you view from the inside.  It shows the world as it was in 1935.  But if you go deeper in for a full tour of the place, the tour guides turn a little cultish.  I was a little uncomfortable with it.

I get news from a variety of sources since they're all a bit biased.  On the internet, my two main sources are MSNBC.com and the Drudge Report.  They sort of balance each other out.  I watch network news hardly at all, but occasionally I watch either local news, Fox News, CNN, or Morning Joe on MSNBC.  I find CNN extremely boring lately, and a lot of the other channels are fluff, so I don't spend much time on them.  I'm in a 'shut the world out' frame of mind for the past few years, especially when it comes to fluff.  I read the Connecticut Post (which is a piece of crap for major news but has some local news) and for the ride home from work, I read the NY Post because it doesn't require too many brain cells to get through it.  I sometimes read the Wall Street Journal, or selected articles from it.

CSM is an awesome newspaper. I like it, and I'm far from Christian. Quit your predispositions, you toking hippie.

Mostly the Washington Post, plus CBSnews.com and CarSpin for breaking news, and the New York Times for national or international news feature stories. I don't have a television and abandoned my print Post subscription, so everything online.

You know that's just a talking point.  He saw it on the Colbert Report, and thought it was news.

Seeing as you asked....

The Australian
Adelaide Advertiser
The Australian Financial Review
Melbourne Herald Sun
Guardian Messenger

Interestingly enough, all but one of those newspapers is a News Corporation paper, and yet each one has a relatively unique perspective.

I don't know. They're all biased. I don't really care, or notice, anymore.
