For you news junkies out there, here's a nice list of top 10 stories that snuck under the radar this past year.
Personally, I'm trying to cut down on the amount of news I absorb each day, as so much junk is out there.
Yay for me for ditching HuffPo from my list of daily reads! That site has gone down the tubes in the past year, resembling more a tabloid than a viable alternative to MSM. Even with Google News, I focus only on the World news as other useless sections clutter up their front page (Entertainment, Sports).
I'm finding this gluttony of information that the Internet has afforded us to be very unhealthy for my spiritual state. Is that a poor reflection on me or on the dismal value of the news?
Probably a bit of both.

Thanks for that list! I personally don't like reading news from anywhere but two sources:
Asia Times online: atimes.com
Counterpunch: counterpunch.org
Like the list illustrates mainstream news (AP, reuters) always conceals or distorts whatever news is out there, leaving people who wish to find out more about something frustrated.
I also agree there's an over abundance of information online. But with all this info, I still find it hard to find interesting things to read.
I'm now at the point where I just watch Islamic videos and read Sherlock Holmes stories online.
My blog is mostly about my view of Islam in America, so I do skim the headlines on cnn.com to see if there's anything relevant and check out some Muslim blogs.
