What are your favorite online news outlets?

I've gotten into the habit of checking six or seven news outlets on my tablet, three or four times a day. But I keep going back to the same ones and curious as to whether there are some good ones I don't know about.

So, which ones do you like? Online only please, and ideally not overly slanted one way or the other.
