I was going to include that, then I remembered that other than Felicia Day, Will Wheaton, and JoCo, everybody I follow is from here.

I did find a bit of news that's hit just about all of us...
Slashdot wrote:A survey of about 3,000 people who were tagged in a '25 Random Things About Me' note on Facebook found that memes spread through social networks in a remarkably similar way as diseases do. A biologist who looked at the data says that '"25 Things" authors can be seen as "contagious" under what's known as a "susceptible-infected-recovered" model for the spread of disease,' with a propagation factor of 0.27 in this case. But like an infection, the whole thing died out as quickly as it exploded once the number of 'victims' — people who were willing to write 25 things about themselves — was depleted."
The '25 Things' meme was at least as annoying as a light flu.
A DISEASE, I TELL YOU!!

I mainly look at the BBC for international news and the Age for Australian stuff, but get rss feeds from The Times, the Globe and Mail and the Washington Post. Joystiq and Gamespot for Gaming news, and a couple of current affairs blogs for an alternative look (I'm signed up to too many to really name, but I only read them once in a while).

Oh, I could tell you about foxnews... nut I'm not, but I will comment on their choice of words like you pointed out with the bombers.
Fownews will not call US snipers for snipers, but rather sharpshoters as they have reserved the title of "Sniper" for the "bad people"

i dont.
i didnt find out about cyclone Katrina hitting New Orleans for three days, until it was mentioned in geography class.
i am quite happy to love my life more or less oblivious to world events.
if it is of critical significance, people will talk about it in the street. if the only mention it gets is on the news and websites, clearly its not considered important enough by the general population for it to be worth my knowing.

i'm the same, really. if something big happens, usually i see it on here or through friends. i'm watching it a lot more lately as i have friends in VIC and like to see the fire updates in case it's getting any closer to them.
