What are your favorite news sites? Which websites do you use to know what's going on in the world? Here's my little list:
The BBC
MSNBC's Space News
Slate
Joschka Fischer's Montagskolumne (in German)
The Dutch teletext (in Dutch)
Nu.NL (in Dutch)
I'm asking this, and invite you to share your favorites, because I would like to read more foreign news sources, and most probably you can tell which ones are best in your country. One of the great benefits of the web is the possibility to gain more than one perspective on the same news.
On a related note: some time ago, I subscribed to the American journal Time, hoping to get acquianted with a US vision on world news. Unfortunately, I received the European edition (which included in-depth analysis of soccer matches written by Americans - just as unnecessary as an European writing about baseball), And no, the US version could not be sent to my home. Yuck.
