Threadcromancy!

I'm a junkie.

English Languages News: BBC (Scared witless centre/centre-right), Guardian (Rarely coherent centre-left), Newsnow.co.uk (aggregate), Google News (aggregate), The Real News (Go Look! Howard Zinn and Noam Chomsky interviews, at length, on the front page! They speak for more than 10 seconds uninterrupted!), European Tribune - more of a collection of op ed pieces... Sci/Tech Slashdot, Physorg, Oh, how could I forget El Reg.

Spanish: BBC Mundo (frequently different in style, substance and line from the English version), El Pais, El Mundo tend to lean in different directions than the english language mainstream news during international events.

Also, granma (english and spanish), which is of course a propaganda arm of the Cuban government. Good as a counterpoint in many instances... Particularly the Georgian conflict, for example.

Blogs: Economic Crisis:

Calculated Risk
naked capitalism

The blog rolls for these 2 are an economic who's who.

South America:

BoRev.Net
inca kola news

Most interesting part of the planet, for me at least, these 2 often give counterpoints-in-advance of the english and western media's stories from the continent.
