Thats what so great about The Nation. They dont have corporate advertisers, and their writers are superb. And they've been around since 1865.

Another one I forgot. The Daily Show & The Colbert Report. Fact & Fiction (like here!)


A lot of variety in sources. A lot of different viewpoints. I would suggest check them all out.

Yes, that is exactly right. NBC is far, far to the left.
No V-8 needed to realize that!

For me:
Websites - BBC
Radio - CBC
TV - Mostly CBC (and BBC for international)
Mag/Newspaper - The Week

I listen to about 15 minutes of Rush/Sean and around the same of amount of time with Bill Press/Rachel Maddow a couple of times a week (while driving ).

what about you?
Various Internet sources including WorldNet Daily, occassionally Matt Drudge, FrontPage, and a few others as my mood and time permits.

Fox News, as far as TV news goes.

Rush Limbaugh: I listen as often as I can, and I try to listen to the whole show, but I can't always)

Sean Hannity: I catch a bit of Sean, but the station that I receive him on doesn't always come in well in my area.

Glenn Beck: Same as for Hannity

I read some other news sources, but some of them, frankly, make me want to barf, like the Huffington Post (I really do it for laughs, but I can't read that garbage for long).

I look at others, but I can't think of them off the top of my head.

Pundits I admire:
  • Neal Cavuto (excellent)
  • Charles Krauthammer
  • Fred Barnes
  • John Gibson (don't hear him much since he is doing something else now)
  • Dick Morris (good, now that he's not tied to the Clintons and can be objective.
  • Lot's of others, to numerous to list.
