Seriously, if you want to be a better writer as said in your other post then I suggest you read it.
You can read it online

Also check out www.Slate.com for reporting, editorials, opinions, and humor.

I enjoy Digg

@teh_kvlt_liberal Would that also be a good news source too? I don’t know how up-to-date their posts are. Thats mainly what I am looking for; the most current updated news. But I’ll check it out just the same. And @jonsblond and @gailcalled I will try those out too. Hopefully I can get all the information I need from them. Thanks a bunch. :)

thedailybeast.com is brilliant. gives you nice succinct summations of the important events/news. With lots of other cool articles and contributors. I dig.

Yeah the online site is pretty up to date
They just updated the US open about 25 minutes ago
I’d try cnn.com too, they’re up to date

Thanks everyone for the news sites. I just went on them and they look pretty informative and current. I can’t wait to delve even deeper into what they offer. I also love the fact that you don’t need a subscription to read there stuff. Well thanks a million everybody, I can’t thank you enough. :)

I usually hit up popurls.com in the morning. I feel up-to-date after skimming it.

Twitter’s trending topics :)

Right, it’s not a good news source, but you can see what new is happening quickly and then use that as a starting point to find more information about a current event.
