2. For Middle-East political news, Ha'aretz is usually very, very fast.
Edited on Thu Jan-25-07 12:26 AM by Poll_Blind
It's Middle-East-centric though, so things outside that region will come in more slowly. HERE

Edited on Thu Jan-25-07 12:32 AM by KoKo01
Homepage when I log in each day. I'm kind of limited til I get to DU because DU is so diverse that other people get their news from very different sources and so I get my first stuff and then come here. :shrug:

9. DemocracyNow! -- Amy Goodman's show.
www.democracynow.com

She's fantastic. The show airs several times a day on various networks and on radio. Check the site for access. You never regret the time spent.

11. Several but none are as good as DU....
Huffington Post, Talking Points Memo, BBC, Al Jazeera English, NY Times, Raw Story are among them.

But DU is by far the best and I rely on it. Just glancing through LBN and GD you get a wealth of stuff very easily. Just one of many reasons DU is indeed the best!
