I have Google news (news.google.com) open in a tab most all the time. I refresh it when I move past it to see what's changed. I follow a given story that appears there one link deep or sometimes several sources for the same topic. I also often have a tab open to NPR's homepage, which correlates to one of my main sources of news from the radio. I also listen to a few of the local news outlets.
All these sources give me a starting point to follow up on a given story using different sources. There's a local radio station that is really conservative/right/??? pick a label and one thing I've noticed listening to that one is the very very high ratio of advertising to content. Talk radio streams of Fox News shows are typical in this regard. It's hard to get a sense of the facts (sorry, trigger warning!, late) when listening to them. It's unavoidable to get a sense of the emotional vibe when listening to them. They're just an amplifier for whatever input the programmers choose to blast that day. Not a source of "news", per se, but a look outside my bubble.
