MSNBC is my homepage when I start up the internet, so I get hit with the breaking headlines there.
I go to C-Span for gov't proceedings (because I'm boring)
BBC World Service for actual news, I find they're the least biased and their commentators know their shit.
And then Fox News, because it's always important to know what the loonies are up to.
How can you even stand to watch Fox News?

I don't watch the news because it's rarely news. This is also in line with my Taoism.
That being said, if I want to do primary verification of an item, I start with CNN online. (Television news has ceased being useful for anything.)
I woke up on 9/11 and people on IRC were talking about the complete destruction of the World Trade Center. For a while, I thought it was just some stupid joke they were making. Then I pulled up some feeds.

I am surprised nobody mentioned RT. They are biased but they give unique perspectives not found on other news.

In no particular order:
BBC World Service
RT
NPR
France 24
Al Jazeera
St. Louis Post Dispatch for local news
I figure that between the first five I can get a fairly decent idea of what's happening in the world and my own country nationally.
