HN: interesting technical pieces occasionally and good coverage of tech industry but is often an echo chamber (granted one I agree with) and features a lot of fluff pieces written by bloggers lacking original thought and research skills
WSJ: good coverage of business but features a world-view that's almost completely obsessed with money and right-wing ideology, yet the pieces are still thoughtful and original
NYTimes: I occasionally read to find out about world events since they have great breadth and coverage
Local papers: generally a crap-hole of AP content and crime reports but is useful for sports and city council/schools coverage
Slashdot: for teh lulz. but these people share my outrage at government intrusion in our lives so I like reading up
Facebook: I have good friends who link to good stories in publications I would otherwise never read
NPR/public radio: insightful and original story ideas, but they're very much into intellectual naval gazing
AM conservative radio: they're entertaining, and I enjoy hearing their take on recent events which often have a lot of valid points. at least they wear their bias on their sleeves even if it gets in the way of legitimate reporting/analysis
Local TV news: completely pointless and depressing recap of local crime and fluff pieces. useful in the event of local severe weather. decent sports interviews but mostly resorts to flimsy soundbites
Daily Show: you can always count on Jon to call people out on their BS and point out absurdities
Google News: extremely useful for getting up to speed on what's happening but is often trapped in a monotonous cycle of iPhone news, 'radical' health discoveries which are overblown, violence in foreign countries, and gaffe-centric political reporting
Twitter: I follow over a 1000 people so it's like sifting through a pile of periodicals in the bathroom which sometimes turns up some good finds but is mostly just perfume ads
