I've only seen a couple who cite odd blogs, but I see many more Fox/Beck/Limbaugh fans on the right than I see MSNBC/Olbermann/Maddow fans on the left. Not trying to deflect; I'm just sayin'.
Places I go to regularly are:
The Economist
London Times
London Telegraph
The Wall Street Journal
The BBC World Service
NPR
Financial Times
I've seen Liberal/Progressives here say they don't trust a news story unless they see it in The Daily Kos, Huffington Post, on MSNBC or some obscure blog.
You've seen liberals on here say that? Which ones? Care to link to the posts?
I don't know who has said that here on CD. The OP statement certainly doesn't fit me. I hardly ever read the Daily Kos or watch msnbc, and seldom read the Huff Post. I read blogs, but they're blogs. I take them for what they're worth, opinions. I've seen more RWs post links to blogs and opinion pieces than liberals.
I listen to NPR and watch CNN for most of my news. I also read my local daily paper, the Boulder Daily Camera. On Sundays I read the Denver Post. I had never heard of Daily Kos until I started posting on CD, nor World Nuts Daily, the Pajama thing or many other "news" sources. I can't stand FOX.
He's just angry because I pointed out that there are a number of Republicans here who have said they only trust Fox News. As we all know, this phenomenon of only trusting one TV news network is unique to Republicans. Democrats trust a range of news sources.
I've seen Liberal/Progressives here say they don't trust a news story unless they see it in The Daily Kos, Huffington Post, on MSNBC or some obscure blog. That seems like an incredible amount of trust to put into organizations that are validating their own pre-conceived beliefs. It's almost like they're part of some religious dogma.
So, what other organizations do Liberals/Progressives trust?
Interesting to assume that we all get our talking points like the Rs do.
I don't read any of these outlets that you note.

Not angry at all, just decided to see how many people's panties I could get in a knot. You started a similar thread and somewhat misrepresented the poll results you quoted.
Thanks for playing.
