Favorite online news site? [View all]
What is your favorite online sources of news? I'm of course not talking about mainstream - corporate or npr - news outlets, I've included a list of the kind of websites I'm thinking of:
www.democracynow.org
therealnews.com
www.commondreams.org
www.alternet.org
thinkprogress.org
www.counterpunch.org
www.rawstory.com
axisoflogic.com
www.rt.com
motherjones.com
www.truth-out.org
www.truthdig.com
www.thenation.com
www.outfuture.org
www.inthesetimes.com
www.smirkingchimp.com
www.yesmagazine.org
this website
etc.
I personally feel I browse Democracy Now! and commondreams more than anything, those two sites seem to cover most necessary news items to be found. They're all very good sites, but I feel I spend more time on those than the others. alternet is also usually pretty interesting. I encourage people to post sources of information that I haven't listed as this thread is to kind of share things like that. Also feel free to post about your admiration for investigative journalist/advocacy/watchdog groups that also post great sources of news that they uncover (Public Citizen, Common Cause, FAIR, etc.) Also polling agents such as the Pew Research Center and Gallup often post interesting things..
