Alternet is full of commentary and well formed opinions on current events. You wont find up to the minute hard news, but rather reflections on our current situation.
Browse different subjects to find what most interests you. The stories can get a bit lengthy, and I sometimes don't read them all, but there is always something to learn.
Be aware it is pretty left winged.
