By default I go to BBC.co.uk, but its starting to wind me up as much as the Daily Fail. Misleading headlines, repeated tautology, sensationalism, self-promotion...

From recent days:

Kate pregnant but in hospital with morning sickness. "but"?

The roof of the tunnel collapsed downwards onto the road. And there was me thinking Japan was a gravity-free country. And it was a road tunnel, where else was it going to fall? Plus, it wasn't the tunnel which collapsed, but the lining--a major difference.

Child arrests "continue to fall". The article gives details of figures which prove that the number has fallen--so why the ""?

Congolese army returns to Goma v US fines China nuclear exporter Those two on adjacent lines

On the other hand, it does allow you to dig deeper with some good analysis.

Where do you go?

but no real regular replacement yet

edit: i also subscribe to the times ipad app and thats pretty damn good the digital subscription also covers the website but tbh i dont really bother with that although i probably should

I don't restrict my viewing to one website. I tend to use Google News to see what the top stories are.

Beeb for me.

Familiarity and laziness on my part to seek out any others.

BBC has been my key source of news for years, but I have found myself looking for something else lately.

Yahoo is okay (http://uk.news.yahoo.com)
Google is okay, but personalisation is a problem (http://news.google.co.uk/)

BBC by default online, but read The Time most days too, then look around for other sources if I want more info.

Yahoo.com
BBC.co.uk
HuffPo
Dailymail

and a whole lot of other major and minor news sources, some that are.. ahem.. shall we say slanted, like FreeRepublic and WorldNetDaily

Just to reinforce my inherently biased pink-tinted view of the world: Guardian supplemented by a sprinkling of the Huffington Post (it's very hit and miss/pick and mix: I started with it after the Iranian election protests a few years ago when it had a superb live-blog - now there's something that has been beaten to death since...live-blogging that is, not Iranian protesters - too much, too soon?). A bit of Economist thrown in for some hard-right balance. Plus a few Irish and UAE sites but nothing too noteworthy there. I tend to use a lot of other sites also for specific news: regional, business, sport, arts/culture etc.

I have never warmed to the BBC site, far too superficial.

Great disclosures about the Jimmy Savile Case!

BBC since the late 50's as a shortwave listener! Like others I feel they are letting their standards drop.

Who can remember the Voice of America in "special English" where a guy spoke very slowly for non-english speaking listeners. Content was dreadful!
