[Discuss] what news do you read?

Hi All,

I usually start my day with a cup of coffee and read through about a
half dozen sites before starting work.  The technical websites I go to
generally keep me happy.  The general news websites do not.  I hate
the design.  I hate the writing.  I am annoyed by the marketing.  Pay
walls suck.  For example, boston.com is practically unreadable without
add blocking software and if you read too much they want money.  Even
the great New York Times looks like crap in my not so humble opinion.
I wish somebody local would step up and make something.  I see they
have changed USA Today's site a lot but it's way too busy and the
stories seem trivial.  The Economist isn't too bad.  I live in Quincy
and the Patriot Ledger's site (really "wicked local") is a nightmare.
The Huffington Post looks is kind of ugly and is a bit liberal for my
taste but I'm heading there now.  So what do you read?  Am I missing
something good?

Thanks,
