Wikipedia. They have both pages on current events [0] and events from the past year [1]. The year page also has sub-pages for specific topics or counties. So if you're only interested in events from the USA, you can look at only that page. [2]. Wikipedia also has the benefit of being written in the style of an Encyclopedia, so editorializing is kept to a minimum (at least, that's the goal).
