I usually use Yahoo, because it’s part of my home page. But since the election difficulties, I tend to go to the New York Times page for official counts, statements, video clips, etc. Where else is a good place for breaking news? ---

I read the NYTimes online. It’s generally my homepage. I also read the economist, the London Independent, and The UK Gaurdian online. ---

I like yahoo, because they have a bunch of different feeds and the like. Most of it’s just a rehash of the good old AP wire, tho. ---

Yahoo (actually Reuters and AP). [Cnn.com](http://Cnn.com). New York Times (mainly for the Op-Ed). Walla and Ynet (for news from back home). I’m a bit of a news junkie. ---
