What are your fave news sources, besides DU?

[snot]

Assume I have limited time and want news sources that are as accurate as possible, as well as independent. What would your rank as your top 5?

(Maybe we should establish a running poll to this effect, if it could be publicized as a sort of consumer reports on news sources?)
