Me personally I visit a few websites daily for news and watch Foxnews occasionally on TV.
The websites i visit are http://www.foxnews.com, http://english.aljazeera.net/HomePage, and http://islamonline.net/english/index.shtml
I find that getting a mixture of American media and Arab media gives me a good prespective from both sides of the fence. I typically am a little skeptical of both sides of the media (usually the Arab side a bit more) but I realize the truth is usually somewhere in the middle.

How do you get your news from a dead link?
NPR is National Public Radio.
I get my daily news from the LA Times. I also read the NY Times and Washington Post every few days or when a big story hits. When I feel like I'm not getting everything I go to the BBC, the Australian Harold, and also try to find a good Candadian source. When I want to read what the left says about a particular topic i head over to alternet.org.
Yesterday I read the Weekly Standard but there didn't seem to be much interesting to read.
