The Globe and Mail newspaper every morning. Ustwo is right that many of us seek out what we want to hear but I find the Globe has a pretty good balance of columnists.

For breaking news I'll flip around between the usual gang of TV news until I get the gist, and then wait for the Globe the next day for a more indepth exploration.

TV news in the US seems to follow a very tight order of stories:

1.) Shocking Video! (disaster, scandal, youtube etc...)
2.) Presidential election campaign footage
3.) Sensational Legal proceedings.
4.) Medical Breakthrough or Diet advice
5.) Sports
6.) Weather
8.) Funny Video. (Cute animals and or children)

EDIT: On second thought, weather usually comes before Sports.
