Ditto, but set not to U.S. For some reason (I could speculate but won't bother), the International BBC site has actual news, whereas the U.S. BBC site has, well, not sensationalist articles exactly, but certainly the mayhem/scandal angle U.S. typical audiences seem to eat like ice cream.
Also, Google News. No idea what their algorithm is (most clicks, weighted with trustworthiness of site, but not always?), but they usually have a good range of coverage, and beyond the initial three articles in any given section, can actually provide really interesting articles.
I am assuming you mean technology news? I think techmeme.com gives you a great bird's eye view about everything that you need to know in a couple of minutes.
It's not perfect and you do need to stay on top of things; I'm a heavy user of lists and persistent search tags. But you could also use a service like http://getlittlebird.com to find people in a specific field.
