Most news headlines are nothing but useless fluff or fearmongering, but sometimes I think I should look at news headlines rather than getting all my news from Facebook. Lately when I feel this way I have been going to http://cnnmobile.com/primary/worldnews.
Today this appears as one of THREE HEADLINES in the "Middle East" section:
"Obese Saudi Arabian man sheds more than 300 pounds"
I fucking give up. HOW IS THAT WORLD NEWS?!?!?!

The best headline source I've found is The Economist. You need a subscription to read more than a few of the actual articles per week, but you can read their front pages and their World Politics This Week column for free. They are pro-capitalism and snarky but not over-the-top fear-mongering or fluffy.
