Im' a news junkie-I find my sources from a lot of different places. NYTimes for some of it, Washingtonpost.com for some, cnn, although like you, I don't like their new layout. Couple of secondary news sources, like comcast or yahoo. I tend to as you know, have a penchant for the weird news, and gravitate towards them-often the secondary sources are good for that-they usually use Reuters or AP "wire" services as their primaries for such.
