For American news I usually avoid the US networks and get it from the sources above or The Daily Show with Jon Stewart. It's a shame that a comedy show has become a better source of journalism than most of the news networks. Local news around here is a load of rubbish that's long on style and short on substance.
For GAA news or any other specific topic I'm interested in I go to Google news and get it from all sources.
Pretty much where most here seem to get it;
Jon Stewart ::)
NY Times
The Guardian, self proclaimed "the world's leading liberal voice".
Al Jazeera
MSLSD
And one wonders why I laugh out loud at the mere mention of Fox news
and how it's not balanced on here :D

Thank you, TO, I'm sure the others are quite capable of speaking for themselves.
Where do you get your news?

Sure he's a Republican . . . the only news or insight he will ever need is here

You must be new here, TO won't be answering a question like that.
Oh I'll be nice to him and give him the benefit of the doubt. Sure even people like him have to get their news from somewhere, even if it's hate radio up and down the AM dial.
Rarely home on time to see any news between 6 and 7 so mainly get the news via various news outlets on Twitter, BBC News online and the good old gaaboard!
RTE online and the Indo online as well. The Kerryman and Kerry's Eye too.
RTÉ - I know it's customary to trash the D4 dicks but their phone app is really good

I get my news from the GAABoard. Then I go looking at RTE, BBC, Sky News or whatever.
I get my American Sports News from having ESPN radio on most of the day :)

National Public Radio - excellent local NYC coverage. Actual fairness/balance on US national issues. Good coverage of international issues.
Google News - excellent for compiling news from all types of sources
NY Times - Comprehensive coverage of just about everything. Liberal opinion page.
Wall Street Journal - conservative opinion page
Fox 5 and NY1 for local NY tv news
I hack people's voicemail.
The barber or the taxi driver.
Seedy brothels in Galbally.
I forgot to mention NPR. I have it on most of the time so I probably don't think of it.
Looks like I'm the only one here who watches Al Jazeera. I once took a look at it out of curiosity and I have to say I'm very impressed by it. Very similar to the BBC but with more of a world outlook. Not much in the way of commentary, mostly just reporting. Any editorial line that you can detect seems to lean slightly in favour of the revolutions that are sweeping the arab world.
Even the graphics and music are similar to BBC News. I wonder if that's deliberate.
RTE News for the Deaf.
Think Al Jazeera is just being introduced in NYC at the moment. They've bought space off some other station a as they've been having trouble getting their own from cable companies. I saw about ten mins of coverage on Sky satellite on a trip home a few years back, but I don't know much about them except that there was a serious propaganda campaign against them from certain sections of the US media back in the early-mid 2000s.
TheJournal.ie is one i've started following, particularly on Twitter. Seems to be very up to date on news - regularly ahead of RTÉ.

Channel 92 on Time Warner, stated this week but I haven't watched it yet. http://www.nydailynews.com/entertainment/tv/2011/08/01/2011-08-01_al_jazeera_english_news_network_finds_home_on_new_york_cable_channel.html
AJ has a free live stream, I watch it on my Roku internet downloader TV box contraption thing (I wish someone would think of a name for these devices).
Anybody watch RT (Russia Today)? I think it provides a different perspective on global politics
