On the web, I often seem to follow links to articles on theguardian.com, and they always have a polite blurb asking me to support them by logging or subscribing. Even though I like their coverage, I'm not local enough to feel guilty.
In my car, I often listen to KCBS radio, for traffic, weather, and news, which is all fairly well done, and the news coverage seems to have a neutral viewpoint, with relatively few teasers (once I arrive, I'm not likely to wait for the upcoming news). If I can't make out a sentence, I can switch to their FM channel, which is delayed a few seconds. The sports coverage and the ads are mostly tolerable, but if the Kars-4-Kids jingle comes on, I immediately switch to NPR, which is more interesting and in-depth, but I'm busy driving and don't want to think -- I just want traffic, weather, and a bit of headline news.
My least favorite place for news is the gas pump. Our local gas station was USA Gas, then Shell, and recently changed to Speedway, with at-the-pump TV blather and ads, and I'm usually willing to pay the extra few cents/gal and drive a minute out of the way for the quiet 76 station.
