Daily Kos: State of the Nation
I have to admit I haven’t read a lot of these blogs (though maybe I should). I agree that Talking Points Memo is the best news organization in the blogosphere, and the blog part is good. I still find it annoying that you can’t comment on the Editor’s Blog. I find Andrew Sullivan wildly inconsistent and you can’t comment there either. (Do you think it’s any that blogs a lot like the MSM are on the top of the list?) But, seriously Time – the Huffington Post? They do some reporting which is good, but it’s also full of anti-vaccine conspiracists and other purveyors of woo along with gratuitous pictures of women in skimpy clothes. I’m happy a blog by a scientist also makes the top list. As far as Daily Kos, I’m a big fan, it’s what brought me to the blogosphere. It’s gotten so big now, though, that it’s a lot harder to navigate but I find it a good place to find political information and a clearinghouse for activism. It’s really the place to go to find out what the grassroots are thinking and saying.
So, what do you think? What belongs on the list that isn’t listed? Which ones on the top or bottom do you think don’t belong there?
