Reddit. Anything possible type of digital information you could possibly want is on that site.

I'll usually buzz through these sites as a typical day progresses

Calgary Herald
Calgary SUN
LA Times
NY Times
Toronto Star
Globe & Mail
National Post
Washington Post
CNN
MSNBC
FOX News
ABC News
CBS News
Economist
Bloomberg
Time
The Daily Beast
Calgarypuck
Facebook

And the research and analysis I'd normally get from my firm every day.

I'll check out Al Jazeera and foreign news sites on occasion and, if there's a story I'm interested in where the local papers are in the lead, I'll go to their sites.

Some obscure intellectual internet news and blog sites to make myself appear smarter.

Plenty of podcasts:
Rachel Maddow
Morning Joe
Bill Maher
Meet the Press
Face the Nation
60 minutes
whenever I go for a walk with the dogs I'll listen to news instead of music.

As for TV, I'll watch Stewart/Colbert and BBC for international coverage.

Sites:
Washington Post
Salon.com
Slate.com

Video:
Mediaite.com - great for snippets of cable news shows, I reference them plenty in the US politics thread.
cablenewsguy.com has FOX shows they broadcast, I'll try to catch a The Five or Red Eye once in a while. I'll also make an effort to watch Chris Hayes' show on MSNBC.com on the weekends.

As for local news, Twitter CalgaryPuck and 24hrs/free newspapers.

Dr.'s Jack and Rexella Van Impe are the only source I need.

That's how you answer the question, Sarah Palin.
