Just curious what source most of you turn to for business/financial news.

I mostly watch bloomberg.
I also read the financial times, the economist, and several consumer orientated financial rags (e.g., smart money)

CNBC when I'm watching TV. For reading, Wall Street Journal (online), New York Times business section, and CNET news.com for tech stuff. Bloomsberg and Financial Times are good though I don't often refer to them.
If I had more time in my life I'd read the Economist and Barrons.
news.google.com allows you to set up daily article feeds based on company or topic keywords. Somewhat useful but the interface is so atrocious it makes me want to throw up, so I don't use it much.
For stock quotes I use finance.yahoo.com, which also has current news.
Yahoo used to have a very useful company news module for companies with a ticker symbol, available for a my.yahoo page. It was the best in the business for tracking news on specific companies, so naturally Yahoo ruined that with their latest new & improved "upgrade" and it's no longer available, unless you are grandfathered with access to the old system (like me).

I like bloomberg because of the great coverage of Asia and Europe. I've not read Barrons much but I've been thinking lately that I should

I forgot to mention Nightly Business REport on PBS. I think Paul Kangas is great. Their website has some good information for casual investors like me.
