I use Google news as an aggregator, with subscriptions to sources I particularly like. Through aggregation I can usually get a sense of if something is truly out of step with "mainstream media." trusted sources for me are The Economist, Financial Times, NPR, and to a lesser extent the Atlantic.

Regardless of source though, it's more important to read news articles critically, than it is to have a particular "trusted" source.
