usually read the BBC, some bits of the Grauniad (not the pretentious arty crap, only the home news/crime/world news), the local news sites, the emergency services press releases and various foreign news sites as well.
Also a lot of tech news sites.
I don’t trust any of them though until I’ve checked something with multiple sources.
Also I find “progressive” media such as indymedia to often be spun as much as the right wing, and that “good news” is invariably spin of some sort (or a corporate sales pitch) apart from animal stories (as there is usually a verifiable picture of the relevant creature).
