Comics Alliance and Robot 6. Sometimes the rest of CBR, but that's a rare occasion. I make a point of avoiding Bleeding Cool because I'm really tired of Rich Johnston.

For what it's worth, I don't read any of them. If there's something new coming out by someone I don't actively search for I'm either out of luck or people post about it on the "Comics on Sale This Week" or "New Comics Talk" threads on here. Without this board I wouldn't've read anything by Brian Wood (DMZ was the first thing I knowingly read by him, now I have everything), Matt Fraction, or David Lapham, to name a few.
The last time I took the time and went to various comic news sites it was either about the major two (which I don't want to read about), they were completely unnavigable, or they sounded like they were written by a hyperactive 8 year old drooling fanboy. -

MAJOR SPOILERS for mainstream comics/TV/movie news.
io9 for more sci-fi based comics/media.
THE BEAT for industry insider news.
COMICS WORTH READING for female perspective comic news and because I like Johanna's writing.
JOURNALISTA for the more cerebral side of things.
BLEEDING COOL for an alternative look at the mainstream.
I'll check out WHEN FANGIRLS ATTACK every once in a while to see what's in the hot seat. -

io9 for more sci-fi based comics/media.
I love io9, particularly Charlie Jane Anders' posts. -
I get all my comics news from here and the mighty mighty Comic Book Queers podcast.
-
Really, I only read them when they are directly linked from Whitechapel or Warren's FB page...I am not the core constituency apparently.

Just Bleeding Cool and what I gather from Whitechapel. Pretty much suits all my needs. -
Forbidden Planet - good mix of British American and European comics news
Down the Tubes - solid British comics focus
CBR - for the American comic book news
Bleeding Cool - for the news before it is the news (although sometimes it isn't news and sometimes it never becomes news)
Bugpowder - used to check it out more often but it isn't updated too regularly at the moment
Hypergeek - from time to time, seems to reflect my tastes more
I had forgotten about Journalista (must have lost it in a computer changeover at some point)
Good tip on Coverless, consider it bookmarked.
I must admit I'd be interested in a comics news site somewhere between CBR and BC (with a smattering of the other sites I mentioned) - something that isn't just a mouthpiece for the comics industry where they are up for doing a little journalism (that Comics Journal study a while back concluded no one was really doing comics journalism, although Rich's journalism experiment from a few years back coming even close), where contributors can follow their interests and unearth gems that might not get the coverage they deserve but not somewhere that is arse-achingly hip, edgy or cool (more that you end up following a writer because you share the same interests or you are just curious about what they'll find next). -
Although thinking about my comments above I suspect I am really talking about more of an online comics magazine (a magazine about comics and not a "comics magazine") - no pressure to be the very first to announce some scrap of comics news but taking a bit more time to look at the large picture, consult sources and provide a more rounded and useful overview of events. Blogs and news sites compete to be the ones to break some story about the latest title a comic company has announced and that rather killed comics magazines like Comics International which can't hope to compete on that front. It'd still be providing news but a more rounded and insightful picture that I know I'd be more interested in reading, as opposed to ADHD comics news sites like CBR where I find myself sticking my hand out into the news-drizzle to see if anything catches my interest but I am increasingly relying on others to pass along interesting developments.

Comics Alliance, IO9 regularly
CBR, IGN, GhettoManga less frequently
Newsarama, ComicsVine when they cross my mind -

Bleeding Cool and CBR everyday right when I get home from work.
Newsarama I check everyday but usually only read their reviews/ con video interviews and some creator print interviews
IGN on Wed/Thur strictly for their reviews
Ain't It Cool News on Wed. for their reviews also -
I stopped reading most the comic news sites awhile ago. I used to read Comic Alliance & CBR though. Something I do catch more often is G4's weekly online web series Fresh Ink, though it's more a review format than news. Actually in their most recent episode they more or less down right fellate a one Mr. Warren Ellis over the release of Absolute Planetary.

Traded Bleeding Cool (which sends a lot of movie-related stuff out on the RSS, which I'm not really interested in AT ALL) for Comic Alliance. Just happened to be the first one in my radar when I decided I wanted something there besides BC. -

CBR and Newsarama, although they're redundant, honestly.
Bleeding Cool -

Just CBR, Newsarama, and comics continuum. Should probably find some more now that I think about it.
-
CBR, The Beat, Comics Alliance, Daily Cartoonist, The Comics Curmudgeon, and one or two more that aren't coming to mind right now.

@MarkSeifert you are awesome.
