What OnLine News Sources Do You Use?

Curious to know what online sources of news members here use. I get a lot of news through different feeds I'm connected to which is good, some via Twitter for example, and I utilize apps on my phone like Flickboard which I like, but I'm looking for a more nonsense free source of news that I can enjoy without having to filter through the tons of material I'm not interested in or have to search for articles or subjects I may want to read about. CNN comes to mind as a website that I used to enjoy years ago, but which now is boring me.

Vice News and Guardian are currently two that I like...

What about you folks?

I use many different sources, but I tend to favor the BBC for international and British news, RawStory for US news, ScienceDaily, Phys.org, and EurekAlert for science news.

I tend to use twitter but then read the stories I'm interested in on a few different sites.  I prefer the independent newspaper site for casual browsing.

BBC and SKY. Raw Story. Futurism for science.Various links provided by Twitter. Subscribe about £30 pa for local rag online. Friendly Atheist Daily Digest online for news of atheism in USA, though it is a bit sensationalist at times.

I typically scan social sites and dig for unbiased sources when something catches my eye. Nothing specific I turn to, I just Google the topic and start looking for .gov or .edu or what have in the results.

I mainly use two Dutch newspaper websites, www.telegraaf.nl and www.volkskrant.nl, a few German ones like www.welt.de and www.faz.de (Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung) and the Onion of course.

I have a NYTimes.com subscription, but I think you can read up to 10 or so per month per computer for free. Usually my first source. Also BBC, vice, and a bunch of geeky sites for more tech-oriented news (arstechnica.com and krebsonsecurity.com mostly).

I subscribe to the Economist online.  Every few days, I hold my nose and visit the Drudge Report. I also subscribe on Youtube to clips from David Pakman (favorite), Secular Talk, the Young Turks, and Sam Seder.

Seems we all use similar or the same, as I like the BBC, Young Turks, occasionally the Drudge Report, plus a mixture of social media to feed me news and articles regarding the subject I like and am curious about ...we receive the Wall Street Journal at the office, along with other periodicals that get passed along, all are industry related (Automotive, WindPower, Technology, Marketing, etc....) It's actually nice to read an actual paper or magazine sometimes.

Has anyone here used the following website called, "CuriosityStream"? It looks interesting.
