Warming up to breitbart.com of late...

In light of the recent ACORN expose, think biggovernment.com is going to be on the visit list as well.

I'm actually looking for a liberal website that gives political topics reasonable treatment. It doesn't have to be non-partisan but, one that examines the other side of issues and makes well-reasoned arguments to support it's positions.

Any serious suggestions?

The Next Right used to be good... but then you get crazies like Warner Todd Houston or whatever his name is. I only liked a few of the posts there, and many of them were more of the Dem bad/Repub good variety, or merely talk of tactics and strategy, but not of guiding principles.

I don't visit drudge except on rare occasions and I rarely visit huffingtonpost either. I go to politicalwire.com, Andrew Sullivan's blog, fivethirtyeight.com and sometimes dailykos.com.

Drudge is only a political site insofar that it links to articles that are gloryfying to conservatives or demonizing to liberals. I don't really think he does blogs or any form of analysis.

Not so much now because I've been busy, but during the election period I visited Hannity.com (when I needed a laugh), Politico.com, fivethirtyeight.com, and the RCP index.

At the bottom of the page, there are links to numerous liberal sites.

I used to like Andrew Sullivan, but he became absolutely obsessed with trying to prove that Sarah Palin's baby was really her grandson.

Do you really think that people who go to Drudge's site are the kind who would read anything non conservative with an open mind? I'd liken people who go to Drudge's site and click on one of those links to have the same in mind as me when I used to go to Hannity's.

So you rant and rave about how biased and unfair Fox News is, yet you watch them religiously. :lol

I miss going there. I remember there was a huge thread with a bunch of people basically begging for the Bradley effect to be real. There was some of that going on here... but not nearly on that kinda scale.

So we should only view things that we agree with? What kind of idiot would only want to be fed information that they agree with? You're only packing yourself into a box at that point.

Of course not. But it's one thing to seek out an alternative viewpoint from a source you deem credible. It's another to rant about how a specific source has no credibility whatsoever yet you continue to go to that source over and over.


What kind of idiot would only want to be fed information that they agree with? You're only packing yourself into a box at that point.

This country is filled with idiots who only want to be fed information they agree with. That's why blue team tells us we shouldn't watch "faux news" and red team tells us we shouldn't trust "main stream media". When blue team watches Fox or listens to Limbaugh they're not doing it because they're interested in some intellectual pursuit of alternative views, they're looking for stuff that they can get outraged over so that they can get on internet message boards and say "See! _________ did it again!".
