Ask HN: Where do you get your news?

I'd really like a news aggregator which doesn't feature (or allows me to filter out) the stuff I don't find stimulating: sports, human interest, celebrities, drama stories of no significance (e.g. trapped coal miners, kidnappings), elections/politics (as opposed to news about new or potential legislation or court decisions), etc.

The best thing I've found so far is the Economist, but I'd like less politics and a wider net.
