I like Google News because it ranks stories using (I imagine) the same sort of page ranking scheme that their search engine uses. So you don't the USA-centric view of CNN. I also occasionialy visit Drudge Report but it's a bit sensationalist. The Inquirer is also quite a good read.

Finally, of course, I have to admit I like oddball humour so I visit Dave's Top Ten List once in a while. Dilbert's List Of The Day was hilarious while it was running, but they started to repeat themselves so stopped publishing. Too bad.
