What website do you go to for the most up to date news (non political) such as storm coverage & current happenings?

I go to cnn.com, but it never seems to update as fast as events happen. I have, on my desk an XM receiver which I listen to Fox news, CNN and CNN Headline. The problem with these are they are basically the simulcast of what is on TV, so if they are showing pictures, you can not see them.

I get most of my news from the news links in My Yahoo. The AP and Rueters (sp) stories update throughout the day.

Google news, checked almost religiously.
Also scan Marketwatch.com regularly.

I find that CNN anad their ilk are awfully cluttered with garbage.

Woohoo! We're a Google News source!

FoxNews.com for me.

I have, on occasion, seen AZ articles on Google news. Usually on a search, though, as my front page is geared more towards world/business/politics

New York Times, New York 1 (TV station) and CNN

Did you edit the original, skijay? I must have missed the "non-political" and storm coverage but.

Storm coverage comes from NOAA.gov. Straight from the horse's mouth, as it were. Even though, apparently, you're not supposed to look there. If it's a gift, anyway.

BBC

I don't trust american media - too much bias. BBC seems to be neutral and to be much more thorough and concerned with news and not sensationalism.

UM... nevermind.

Drudge Report. He quick links to the advisories, track map, and images at the top of his page.

From there, I end up linking to everywhere, By the time I've viewed the articles on DR, I've been to Yahoo, Fox, CNN, NYT, Reuters, BBC to name a few.

Fox news, when I want to get a little more in-depth.
