[Vicious]

I don't watch TV news any more at all. When I did I only ended up being pissed of at the shallow and angled reporting.

The best sources for what's happening in the world in my mind are:

News at a glance - CNN website (though stay away from the front page)
News - The Economist
Fashion - GQ
Travel - flyertalk.com, tripadvisor.com, Conde Nast Traveller
Documentaries - History Channel, Discovery Channel
Satire of current events - The Onion
