Ask HN: What other sites do you use to get reliable news?
A quick question for the HN community: how do you get your news?
I usually start the morning with an honest-to-god physical newspaper (gasp) and use the BBC news service during the day, but I've heard a lot about apps like Circa and Economist Espresso and I wanted to know what other people think about getting news in that sort of bite-sized fashion as opposed to reading long-form articles?
To clarify: I'm thinking specifically about non-tech news, like current events, economic/political coverage, editorials, etc. (I think tech news gets pretty well aggregated here).

It is damn near impossible to get even very good, well-researched articles posted to the front page. However the diaries are often very good.
From time to time a new member shows up, attempts to publish an article, and gets run out of town on a rail by the moderators.
I myself spend far more time at K5 than I do at HN.
The first article on the site appears to be a personal attack on you. Is this a community in-joke?
Reddit (various news subreddits /r/news /r/worldnews + some local)
Sometimes:
New York Times (financials, economy)
News not related to Middle East : Al Jazeera
News not related to Eastern Europe : RT
[notice the pattern...]
Very rarely:
Local news on TV in the evening
