Hmm...while I tend to watch Fox most for TV news, I get a lot of stuff from all over the Internet, too much to list and very dependent on the nature of the story. One trick I have learned with certain stories is to check what the national networks and sites are saying against the local news sites wherever something is actually happening. That has definitely come in handy over the past few weeks where I have picked up local news conferences that supply clarifying details that the more global news sources are often slower to pick up.
Personally I think all news sources should be open about their leanings since human nature is there will be no impartiality and often the undeclared kind is the most insidious of all, far more so than declared ideological news and commentary.

From just about everything so I can glean some truth from all the BS. Also have friends who have great links to Middle Eastern news sites, so it wouldn't surprise me if I knew about Kobane before most people here could even figure out how to say it...
I get all my news from the transmissions intercepted by my tinfoil hat. It seems to be far more reliable than watching any news station.
What about the CIA satellite relays in your teeth?

Had to get them permanently removed. They kept on picking up this radio station from an alternate dimension that played music that can only be described as a combination of heavy metal, country, and jazz. It is far worse than what you would think.

As many sources as I can manage, especially for those stories that trip my cynicism meter.
Also, I try to find sources that have the least-filtered information. For instance, for the latest on the Ukraine crisis, I generally depend on Vicky Moloch, the online handle of a gent who lives in Kyiv and posts on the SJGames.com forums. (Still trying to find a reliable source for data on the Iraq situation, so I have to check info from major networks, including ABC, NBC, and Al Jazeera, and see what kind of picture I can put together from that.)
Some sources I can depend on for accuracy; Scientific American, for instance, while populist, can reasonably be expected to have their stories vetted for solid data. Time, on the other hand, can generally be depended upon to be the opposite of accurate - not yet as sensational as, say, the Daily Mail, but when Time reports on an event, you can pretty much count on the story as being a good starting point, but containing a number of factual errors.
And I usually disregard sources that seem to be trying to engage my emotions rather than my intellect. I've found that in general, such sources don't actually have any facts, which is why they try to get me to feel about things instead

Yes, I did just say that.
