New York Times
CNN
Washington Post (I get the print version, but check online late in the day for any updates)

and when something is going on in a specific location, or when I'm going to be traveling to a specific location I am not familiar with, I search for online newspapers in that location.

Aside from the mainstream, which are only for purely fictional entertainment value, Slashdot and UnknownNews are MUST reads!

/. is cool but it tends to be geared more towards real geeks (i.e. ones that use Linux)...at least the comments seem to lean that way.

Yes, it has a very pro-Linux and pro-GPL vibe.

I've always found that interesting, though, as an OS/2 + Mac + mainframe geek. Some slashdotters don't appreciate that UNIX has not always been the center of the software universe, so they can be fun to stir up (or correct).

All geeks, much like lawyers and sports fans, are easy and fun to wind up. It doesn't take much to get them frothing...

I found it's easier to do that than click around to different websites.
