I get up earlier than the damn newspaper boy and sometimes I just want to crank up the PC and check what is going on.
Is there a good web site for this?

The San Diego Union's web-site is lame...

It's not local to you, but it's a good paper http://www.mercurynews.com/. I cancelled my paper delivery after 30 years because these days people suck at getting it to you! Love your sig line, every time I see it I get a smile on my mug.

Well, personally I like fark.com for my national and world news. Local news for me comes from the Alburquerque Journal.

I use msn.com for national news, my local paper & t.v.s web's for local news. Really no need to pay for a paper anymore. Off- topic, but, no need for me to have a landline home phone either.

Yahoo provides RSS feeds from my local paper based on my Zipcode. I didn't even need to configure it.

That and the Radio. Most times local Rock or Country stations, sometimes Wisconsin Public Radio/NPR.

I do a bunch of sites, CNN to start, aljarezza, BBC, depends on if an article interests me then I also use the local pocono paper, again time. I enjoy the BBC, I've ended up on 4 or 5 of their radio shows from comments I've made.

That is true. People do suck at getting it to you. I'm 28 now and when I was a kid all of my friends and I had paper routes. On Sundays we would get up at 4 in the morning to make sure people had their papers by 6. Now it's just a bunch of people driving around in cars and vans full of papers tossing them out not caring where they land.

google, picks up every newspaper on the planet for headlines and you can configure it for your local.

College newspaper isn't bad, if a little biased.

Other than that, I check on here to see if anything worth reading is reported by you guys. NAXJA!

CNBC and CNN are two of the 6 channels we get at work. So I watch whatever is on those. I read the local stuff online.
