News Website without the 'Silly News'?
tokenadult: What has been your experience with customizing Google News? Google will never have the fastest coverage of a breaking story like the balloon boy, because it is aggregating other people's content with a time lag, but I have tweaked my preferences a lot on Google News to where I can rely on it for a lot of international news and very little news that shows up on local TV. (I do have a Google News customization that shows me local news from my town, but not most of the silly stuff.)I agree with the endorsements of The Economist (especially), BBC, and the New Yorker already posted, but what I like about Google News is the even broader reach of sources and stories.
