If I don't have sports on, CNN is what I watch while I'm in my office, so I'd probably recommend them for general overall US news (and Art makes a good point about WaPo & NYTimes)

Vice. Oddly enough, you'll probably enjoy the story that's currently on the top of their site titled: "From Fuzz Boxes to AI - Six decades of psychedelics and music in harmony"
