1) When I wake up, a quick glance delivers me the most important stories. So, I can see if something major has happened/or is happening. Generally, I don't read beyond the main story they have because, well, it pisses me off how many anti-Obama stories I see.

2) Its stock watch is pretty clear and concise. I can tell if the market is in the positive or the negative, which is always important in an election year (I did the same in '08 and today, the Dow, Nasdaq and S&P are in the green).

3) I still have one e-mail account over there I check every now and then.
