I find myself clicking on The Hill quite a bit. They seem level-headed, technically proficient, and they skew a little to the Right, which I intentionally seek out to counter-balance my implicit hard-Left opinions. NPR, BBC, The Economist are good choices, too.

Happiness report: Finland is world's 'happiest country' - UN

And the first four places go to the Scandinavians.
You know, those tall, blond(e) and perfect people? No wonder they're happy.
I have some Danish ancestry and have inherited the Scandinavian tall gene.
The blond(e) and perfect genes seem to have been allocated to someone else.

American Dwellars will be pleased to know that while you are only 18th in the Happiness Index, you're still one notch above us plucky Brits.
We've got broad shoulders.

I've been reading a fair amount of The Hill and Politico and listening to NPR. I still maintain that the format kills 24 hour cable news. It can't be decent because counting eyeballs is more important than the story.
