Here are two of mine

technically they aren't "sources" but they are basically links to sources and stock quotes / financial news.

I fire up Google Reader, and have a number of sources:
The Economist
Daily Telegraph
Guardian
(London) Times
NY Times
New Scientist
National Review
New York Review of Books
La Repubblica
Corriere della Sera
Le Figaro
Le Monde
Le Nouvel Observateur
Libération

Plus I read the BBC and the Daily Mail websites, although I don't get their feeds. TBH my sources are very biased towards the mainstream, although I get a fair balance of left and right-wing filtering.

I'm interested in getting stuff which is a bit different - a friend recommended http://therealnews.com/, but I haven't been using it much.

I'm always looking out for new stuff

I like to brush up on my language skills by reading in my languages of study.

http://www.lemonde.fr/
http://www.liberation.fr/
http://www.dw-world.de/dw/0,,265,00.html?id=265&x=5&y=4 - I have it a bit harder with my German
http://www.eltiempo.com/- Mostly Colombian, but interesting nonetheless
http://www.independent.co.uk/
http://www.cnn.com/- For national news
http://www.miamiherald.com/- Local news
http://www.humanevents.com/- For the lulz

I tend to go in an out with my browsing habits. I'll use mostly one or two, and I'll switch over to another periodically. I use CNN quite a lot, actually.
