Preppers, where are your favorite places to get breaking news online?

I used to feel like I was really up-to-the-minute getting news on the internet as I work, but recently, I'm realizing how long it takes for breaking news to reach the sites I go to. Also, 90% of it is just entertainment, political opinion, & general fluff. I work on the computer during the day so I can't watch TV & I have little patience for radio. The major news network websites seem to be so heavily filtered politically that I don't trust them.

Bottom line-- if aliens landed on the White House lawn or if missiles were headed for my hometown, where would I be most likely to hear about it first? Also, if possible, I would like news to be accurate & unbiased (not aliens are landing and 10 articles about why it is all the fault of Dems or Reps)

Free Republic
http://www.freerepublic.com/tag/news-forum/index?tab=articles
People submit stories from all over
Then add their own remarks, mostly with a conservative view point.

Online newspapers here and abroad. I read Die Welt, Le Monde, and The Guardian in Europe. Sometimes they have links to other European newspaper articles. A lot of times those will have published "breaking news" already, as it's afternoon there by the time I get up. Then I read The Washington Post, LA Times, NY Times and WSJ.

I went to CNN, ABC, MSNBC, and some others I can't recall right now (I don't pay attention to who is who), and I signed up for their breaking news email lists. So when anything happens, I get an inbox full of email about it real quick.

For just browing the news, I have a personalized page at news.google.com

MSNBC, BBC, Asia Times, Alternet, Telegraph (UK), CounterPunch, Free Republic just to name a few. There are quite a few others, I like to read news from all over the world, I figure it gives one a more well rounded view on what is going on. Some of the stuff on the lesser known news sites can border on pure conspiracy theory so I like to double check the facts when something seems a little too crazy.

Aha - I look up www.rense.com just about every day. He pulls all kinds of stuff from everywhere. Sun spots, Europe, China, Russia - crazy links.

George Ure's www.urbansurvival.com (his daily remarks page) - I go to his daily also.

All these folks; George Ure, Rense, Art Bell, a lot of economists - they all seem to know each other.

When you sign up for breaking news reports on CNN or some other outlet, do you get inundated with a lot of garbage or do they reserve the service for real news?

I'm signed up for daily headlines from my local newspaper (the Boston Globe) and they also send me breaking news reports when there's something big going on.

I don't get anything from them except breaking news headlines.

Some of the breaking news is stupid, like during the academy awards, you get a breaking news headline everytime someone wins an award, but most of the time I just get "real" news.
