Dopers,

What news sources do you frequent? Where do you turn for (political, in particular) news?

I’ll go first:

I usually start my day by perusing [realclearpolitics.com](http://www.realclearpolitics.com/), which is really just an aggregator that has news from a pretty wide range of sources. For example, today there were articles from the Daily Beast, Slate, Washington Post, New Yorker, Federalist, Politico, New York Times, Atlantic, and Wall Street Journal. Sometime during a typical day, I’ll probably also visit the Straight Dope (quite a lot lately), Drudge Report, [AR15.com](http://AR15.com) (certainly not a hard news site), some local news sources ([ksl.com](http://ksl.com) and [sltrib.com](http://sltrib.com)), and probably some others I can’t recall at the moment.  
mods: if I screwed this up, sorry. I wasn’t sure which was the right forum to ask this question in.

Reddit and RCP for aggregators.

Washington Post, TPM, Politico, TheHill, MotherJones, Vox, Slate, NYT, and I’ll even pop over to Breitbart to see what that clownshow is spewing at the moment. Also follow lots of various journalists on twitter.
