i want you to say what is your opinion about news sites...
i think that yahoo is the best one but also there is msn.com and others..
what do you think about this?
what is the best one?
answer please
I use http://news.google.com/, it's the only one I know, it provides lots of articles and you can easily adapt the frontpage to suit your desires. i use BBC World generaly and i also look net portals(a lot of kind of portal)...and i think i should change my opinions about BBC...
CNN is better? I really dont know~
The best for up-to-date, global coverage:

i don't like CNN it works like a agent...They don't want to televise something which are bad for Americans.So we can't learn the truths absolutely....I think CNN is too biased. BBC is more balanced. The BBC reports news critical of the British government, but CNN seems much more circumspect in reporting what the US government does.
If I can't find any story on Fark, then it's probably not worth reading. Otherwise, I'd just use New York Times.com. it's so depends on the language. for english language im using yahoo and bbc as reference. they have nice hot news every time i access them. for indonesian language i'd prefer use detik and kompas cyber media as the place to get informations. everyone have their own taste 
. For tech news I think I would go to zdnet.com but thats just me.
geenstijl.nl ... for the dutch ppl....
and tweakers.net for the techinfo... (also dutch)
but I still prefer to read the good old fashioned newspaper
I catch most of my news on TV, but I like to use http://theregister.co.uk/ and Slashdot sometimes. I'd say MSN cos that's where I get most of my news from!
News? Like world news, reality news, or just news? Cnn.com, MSNbc.com has some good news, I look there most times.
I look at a lot of news sites,
My favorites are
1. CNN
2. BBC
3. Reuters
4. Google
5. Yahoo!
All of the sites mentions ar egnerated on the fly....they do no exist. They are producded accourding to what your individule input happens to be at the the time. Do you really think they make pages just for you?
get Real.
I like MSNBC because they have bigger headlines on the front page of MSN.com. I sometimes go to MSNBC.com to see what the different categories of news contain, which is commonly interesting. When I'm at work (this is on Saturdays and Sundays only), I turn on NBC (coincidentially, MSNBC too), and they have a pretty interesting show in the morning (The Today Show). When there's nothing else on TV to watch, I'll flip through the channels and might go and watch CBS or FOX news to see what they are reporting.

If you like weird news with humorous headlines, that is.
If we're talking about specialized news topics, it becomes very subjective. I like http://www.thejackdaw.co.uk, which is about the art world, and is very critical and cynical. Yahoo!
What else ? Its my homepage and gets me all the news ! It's just too good!
99% of the web use it!
whplace I use Yahoooooooooo! primarily, But I prefer Forums for my news since it's really the members that go to hundreds of sources to get news you surely will miss if it wasnt for them.
There is no "best" site for news anywhere in my opinion, it's always influenced by governments, lobby groups, business, and even the personal feelings of individual journalists to some extent.
For local news I choose local papers/radio/websites; for entertainment/quircky stories just pick any site and the result is about the same - this also applies to sci/tech stories that can be proved and questioned by academics etc.
The problem with "news" comes when it relates to government policy and politics. There is no answer to this in any quest for a reliable story apart from investigating a topic from different countries news sites - BBC, CBSnews, CBC.ca, ABC.com.au etc etc, all give vastly different slants on the same stories depending on who's pulling the strings.
It gets even more confusing when (as has happened in the not too distant past) the UK government pull/restrict a story from newspapers/ISP's etc but all the details are available on news servers off these islands!
News is less reliable, the more important and closer to national governments it gets - it's not right, but it's better than it ever has been for the world through media such as we're all using now.
Search many sources, keep an open mind, and remember that a story always has a number of different sides, and the only people who "know" whats true are the people who are directly involved in whatever situation it may be.
Blue Skies n Wide Smiles to all comrades!

There are many sites to offer news in the internet.
So it is very difficult to choose only one for the best.
I think it depends on people's circumstance.
I live in Korea. Yahoo is one of famous sites but not no.1
in my country, Naver is the best one of potal sites. also news is the best.
I normally google the news I need. Otherwise, if I want to know the headlines and stuff, Reuters seem to be the best source. Highly reliable. But the loading speed sucks sometimes.
I'd recommend http://www.newsnow.co.uk you can choose the subjects tha you want to keep an eye on.
