What blogs do you read to keep up with current events and politics?

I'm trying to make an effort to stay better informed. I've always liked reading blogs, so I figured it would be a better way than reading the new york times every morning. I'm interested in blogs which deliver an almost non-partisan review of the news. and some which provide commentary on either side, but aren't completely radical. i mean by that michelle malkin and the like. i use a conservative because that's all i can think of right now, but the same applies to liberals.





I already know about google news and etc. Please don't link me to newspaper or magazine sites ;(.

Since Blogs are based on personal opinions they cannot be counted on as a source of correct news.

It's not news, it's FARK
Reply:Fark is good...








I suggest the BBC. It's a real new site, but's it's really good. and not always boring. Who doesn't love British humor?


http://news.bbc.co.uk/
Reply:blogs, however good and entertaining, are personal opinions, I still rely on CNN and the newspaper
Reply:None.





Most are still not a real source of news.
Reply:Blogs are for idiots. People who watch FOX news also read blogs.

The blog roll on each of those places is also worth checking out.

My personal favorite is http://www.wolverinesden.org/
Reply:No blog is going to be as up-to-date as a news website. A collection of various news websites would be even better. Also, not many (if any) blogs are going to be non-partisan, which journalists, as a rule, should be.
