I am a fairly new trader and I take careful note to pay attention to fundamentals while making trades. I use the dailyfx economic calendar but with that I had no clue that the cyprus bailout which caused a HUGE stir in the market was even coming. My question is, where can I find news like this instead of data reports?

I think you got a nice collection of links there. You can always google terms like: ‘cyprus bailout’ and see what you will find. I suggest you find a few outlets you like and subscribe to their RSS feed.
Furthermore, Google has the ‘News’ section above the search window so you can view the results of your request that refer to the news directly. I always do so because it’s faster then sitting and waiting for specific information in a single newsfeed.
