Can anyone suggest a good alternative to Huffington Post? I used to love it, but it has become way

too mainstream, too much like CNN.

1. I'm looking for an alternative to HuffPost and The Daily Beast.

I used to read both daily, but they have both become less appealing as of late. Maybe The Daily Beast more so. They've really invested in the "false equivalency/both sides are equally right" model of journalism.

2. Yes, several

3. Mother Jones is fucking terrible.

I just loaded Mother Jones. Two of the articles are entitled, "Is the Junk Food Industry Buying the WHO?" and "Big Sugar's Little Lies." Fuck off. Being liberal doesn't mean being a stuck up mind control nazi that hates fun.

Huffington Post is not a bad alternative to CNN's BS. I don't always want to hear this singing to the choir crap without any level of self-criticism. It's not always useful.

4. Welcome!...

And while Mother Jones is good I agree with the "Being liberal doesn't mean being a stuck up mind control nazi that hates fun" sentiment. It get's taken too far and liberalism is made into a caricature of what most really stand for.

I blame Al Gore.

5. I blame anti-intellectuals who use "professor" as a slur. If you blame Gore, you're probably

confusing the man with of a false caricature of him created and popularized by those in the "Obama sucks cuz he's professorial" camp.

6. You think questioning whether the food people consume is healthful or not is nazi mind

control? Are you sure you're in the right aisle?

7. I am a dem thru and thru but

I actually enjoy looking at all sources of news whether they be right or left leaning. You can't fight them if you don't know what they are talking about. I guess I just don't like being in a bubble.
