I consider myself a media junkie and I don't even visit half those sites. A couple I do visit that aren't on there though...

http://news.bbc.co.uk
www.newyorker.com (I read the print version every week, but they put selected articles online)

I'll start browsing some of the ones you posted, but then I'm sure I'll play even less poker
