I love NPR, Al Jazeera English, BBC, NYTimes, and Politico for my daily news binge. Stuff like Foreign Policy for longer articles and more depth.

I really, actually, like reading things like RT or even press.ir. You can't interpret a lot of it as the same level as BBC or NYT, but works as a great way to see what certain government's policies are, how they are relating it to their citizens, and sometimes will show you things you wouldn't see otherwise. Al Jazeera sometimes falls prey to being silent on Saudi indiscretions (via it's Qatari roots), so press.ir was showing much more footage from Bahrain's uprisings last year. I do not check them often, or would ever quote them, but it's usefully to look at them from time to time.
