What blogsites do you trust/go to first?

[realFedUp]

I am fed up with "traditional" media as Kos refers to.
What/who do you trust? What is your lineup in the a.m.?

[Carolab]

1. I only come here. n/t

[realFedUp]

4. really? unusual. nt

[SmokingJacket]

22. Me too, and sometimes I think this is too much.

My husband keeps me apprised of Huffpo, Digby, Talking Points, Kos and Atrios, though.

[realFedUp]

39. Do we consider DU a blogsite and we bloggers?

always been a question to me.

[stop the bleeding]

40. sort of n/t

[realFedUp]

42. I think of it as a message board and we posters.

a "blogger" seems to have more respect. :-)

[madokie]

55. Pretty much only here n/t

[FloridaPat]

2. Blogs aren't really my thing. My favorite sites though are:

buzzflash.com and here. I like tbrnews.org, but we're not suppose to mention that site. HuffingtonPost is good, Salon.com.

[Rowdyboy]

3. DU, DailyKos, Mydd, Political Wire, Our Campaigns, PFC, and Free Republic

I almost started this thread earlier today!

:thumbsup:

[realFedUp]

5. hehehe. GMTA. nt

[No Exit]

6. I always go to this one first:

http://firedoglake.blogspot.com/

Firedoglake frequently cites to other blogs, so you'll find other ones just by going there.

This one's also a gem:

http://jameswolcott.com/

And here's one I KNOW you'll like:

http://www.thismodernworld.com/

These are also good:

http://www.warandpiece.com/

http://talkleft.com/

http://digbysblog.blogspot.com/

[realFedUp]

7. yeah, I like tom tomorrow.

:-) i'm a sucker for the tooners.

[No Exit]

49. Yes, he's great. Firedoglake has some hilariously apropos graphics!

[tx_dem41]

8. It's probably not what you're looking for, but this is my essential

site.

http://politicaltheory.info/

It's a labor of love for the poli sci grad/doctoral student that runs it. The breadth of his links is astounding, covering a wide range of topics, and, yes, a wide range of viewpoints. Don't be afraid to have your thoughts challenged. It will only strengthen them.

[realFedUp]

11. new one to me...thanks, I'll check it out. nt

[omega minimo]

18. "Don't be afraid to have your thoughts challenged."

:scared: :hide: :scared: :hi:

[realFedUp]

25. not afraid, just unaware of some of these sites. thanks, nt

[tishaLA]

34. Looks like a good site

Thanks for the link

[realFedUp]

59. very meaty. that one's a lot of effort...for alfredo and reader.

[aquart]

9. firedoglake

<http://firedoglake.blogspot.com/>

[stop the bleeding]

10. This one is sorta like a all in one - it is my homepage

http://www.solarbus.org/election/realnews.shtml

there are few more that I visit and would like to see on this page, but this is always where I start the day.

[realFedUp]

13. new to me...I'll check it out.

good thread to put your own page.

[stop the bleeding]

14. You'' love it, DU, RS, Buzzflash, DNow, and many many others on

there, and I have started threads here at DU to make people aware of this site. In fact that is how I came across it.

[realFedUp]

17. Lists all the blogs...good one. thanks, nt.

[sweetm2475]

29. All in one is right!!!!! Great site for a homepage

I'm changing my homepage right now....Thanks!:headbang:

:yourock:

[merbex]

15. Americablog because my fav's are alphabetized n/t

[realFedUp]

16. lol...mine too.

www.alicublog.com is first

[MH1]

19. A few good ones - Democratic Daily, DCP, Donkey Rising

The Democratic Daily

Donkey Rising

Democracy Cell Project

But I confess, I still check BBC, MSNBC, and NYT. Not that I trust them, just that I want to know what they are talking about. And I usually hear one or two things on NPR as I get ready for work that I won't see later on in the MSM.

[realFedUp]

20. not on my list, but I'll check em out. thanks

[bananas]

21. non-commercial radio

democracynow.org
wpr.org
pacifica radio

[realFedUp]

23. I haven't listened much since Air America got up to speed.

I think Amy Goodman should get the Medal of Freedom
from a legitimate administration though.

[bananas]

27. I had to stop listening to Air America

the "teeth grinding" commercials were too painful!

[realFedUp]

41. yeah, for a time I couldn't listen to one more Larry King one...

seemed to be on an endless loop.

[sweetm2475]

24. I like Raw Story and HuffPo for breaking news,.

They seem to get the news faster than most other sites.

www.rawstory.com

www.huffingtonpost.com

Josh Micah Marshall is good for his investigative reporting.

www.talkingpointsmemo.com

IMHO:shrug:

[realFedUp]

26. yep, definitely in the line up. thanks, nt.

[madame defarge]

Enjoy.

30. Disclaimer: Among many others, I have to be partial to

Buzzflash.com....because I do the World Media Watch and I wish more people would read it because the foreign press is where the action is in terms of the geopolitical situation...

[realFedUp]

43. buzzflash is actually the first I check into.

gets me up to speed on news quickly and I love
the wording to the links.

[hwmnbn]

32. Nobody has mentioned truthout.org.....

Will Pitt is a featured journalist there.

I also like Huffpo, Buzzflash, and WatchingAmerica.com

[stop the bleeding]

35. No doubt Truthout.org rocks,

here is a link to all of the ones you mentioned plus a lot more all on one page.

http://www.solarbus.org/election/realnews.shtml

Only complaint that I have had with it is it missing :truthout.org

[realFedUp]

44. I read Will's stuff here. Not on my list though. nt

[cry baby]

36. Huge list of liberal sites at liberaloasis.com.

edited to say that the link I provided doesn't work.

[sweetm2475]

37. If you're not afraid to put on your tinfoil hat.....

InfoWars is a good site. I'm a big Alex Jones fan. But he's a little too "conspiracy theory" for some.
:tinfoilhat: :tinfoilhat: :tinfoilhat: :tinfoilhat: :tinfoilhat: :tinfoilhat: :tinfoilhat:
www.infowars.com

[realFedUp]

45. hmmm. Not on my regular list. thanks. nt

[petgoat]

38. truthout, bradblog, cannonfire, michaelmoore, 911blogger

46. I forget about Michael Moore, unless he's publically vocal.

so many sites, so little attention.

[drthais]

47. let's see now...

Buzzflash
Rawstory
Huffington Post
Daily Kos
TPM
Common Dreams
DemocraticUniderground

in that order exactly

you get the splash
then the tease
then the serious tinge
then the thinking
then more thinking
then long-storied thinking
then DU...
everything everyone has found out there

[realFedUp]

48. I do save DU for last...

like dessert.

[stop the bleeding]

50. here is another

www.chris-floyd.com

these are fav. sub parts.

http://www.chris-floyd.com/bush/

http://chris-floyd.com/telegrams/feed/

http://www.chris-floyd.com/fallujah/index.htm


sometimes the links come up faster/slower than other times but worth checking back on.

there are a lot more listed on the right hand side of the home page.

[Hailtothechimp]

51. I would recommend canofun and Altercation.

Altercation is on the MSNBC web page. And while you're there, Bloggermann (KO's blog) is worth a read too.

[unhappycamper]

52. Our Research Forum has a thread on essential blogs you might want to check

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_oet&address=358x611

[jeffrey_X]

53. alternet.org

....

[Fleshdancer]

54. Atrios and Kos....

Those two were the first blogs I started to visit and I'm still a loyal fan. I also enjoy TPMcafe and the Huffington Post. During the last Presidential primary, I was glued to Blog For America.

[foreverdem]

56. Mostly just here

But I also like Firedoglake and occassionally Raw Story.

[realFedUp]

57. my list

buzzflash, dailykos, atrios, huffpost, talkleft, TPM,
