national news on the net ?

[renovation]

what site do you use mostly for all around news off the net. i was using EXCITE.com but the last week its been down or not updating info. im not one to watch a lot of tv and and my local news is mostly about crap going on in detroit. to be truthful detroit is a crap hole I avoid. detroits news is the same all the time. its all about drive by shooting and hold ups on the 6 and 11 oclock news. im like 40 miles north of the dump and happyto be here.
so im looking for a site to get my state ,national ,world news from ,that also got a little bit of odd news storys and entertainment news to.
