Oh im definately in the news junkie camp. I like to read BBC, CNN Europe, and CNN America. I find it quite amazing the stories that make front page headlines on BBC, make a minor headline (if anything) in CNN-E and dont get reported at all in the CNN-US site. I actually went to find some examples to post, but all the ones I found were sufficiently politically sensitive that ill refrain. Suffice it to say its educational to see how the different areas view themselves and the world around them.

Oh, and if I want a good laugh I usually go and read the politics section on CBC, if you are in need of a laugh Canadian politics usually does the trick pretty damn well.
