That's why I wrote, 'surfing after midnight', when I should be in bed. The more time I spend on other websites, the more I learn, and the more I realize there is so little time...

In a perefct world with unlimited time, I am sure most people would look at scores of news global web sites every day. In reality, I think we can allocate only so much time in the workday to checking in on news sites, foreign or domestic. And what is chosen is, of course, a matter of taste. There are a couple of US news websites I look at not only because I like to, but because given how strong they are editorially, I feel I have to in order to do my job well.
