I dig, nealenews.com fark.com a sprinkle of Monday and the Times-Colonist (even if this happends http://web.bcnewsgroup.com/portals-code/list.cgi?paper=117&cat=48&id=692969&more= ) publiceyeonline.com has lots of good local politics and media news.

Victoria News is actually pretty decent for a local rag, waaaaaaaaaaaay better than the superfluous syndicated broken down infotainment vehicle that is the Times Colonist.

For international stuff I tend to scan:

Google News (for some random headlines)

http://dahrjamailiraq.com/hard_news/ for Iraq stuff

http://www.whatreallyhappened.com for strife news (just
ignore *all* Rense, libertyforum and indiemedia links and local links)

http://www.antiwar.com for more US centric political stuff

http://joystiq.com for gaming news

http://theregister.co.uk for IT stuff

http://www.we-make-money-not-art.com/ for cool art related news

The first story on POE news is about a funeral for an aborted fetus.
Where the hell did they get that? Sounds like they robbed a fetus from a hospital. Now who are the bad peoples?
edit: Ahh, they got it from an anonymous pathologist. They probably fire-bombed his house after he handed it over. - Fri, 21 Jul 2006 5:43pm Edited: Fri, 21 Jul 2006 5:45pm

Sooke Mirror (Need a local fix)

http://www.bbc.co.uk/
http://www.cbc.ca/

(Wikipedia news)

http://www.drudgereport.com : This site should be much better than it is, but at least it has a single page packed with links to many news agencies/journalists. Drudge himself is a dumbass right wing fucker. When you want to read all the headlines that the whitehouse hacks are looking at, go here. This site is more of a guilty pleasure.

http://www.slashdot.org for geek shit.

Favourites:
http://www.theonion.com (Ironically, its more truthful than real news)

moron, I totally agree on the Victoria News stuff. For that kind of publication its well done.

TC is a steaming turd smeared onto newsprint. Worst-Paper-Ever! - Sat, 22 Jul 2006 2:30am Edited: Sat, 22 Jul 2006 2:40am

i find http://www.indymedia.org quite enlightening.
it's unfortunate, however, that most of the canadian chapters are dormant, or close to it. - Sat, 22 Jul 2006 11:36am

I find that if you try to read between the lies of most Western media, and info on sites like http://www.aljazeera.com, or http://www.znet.com, you can get a somewhat balanced perspective. - Fri, 4 Aug 2006 12:03am
