It's not about Clark! (for WilliamPitt)

[Iverson]

Weigh in with your answer to this:
What is your favorite source for editorials?

I have several, but commondreams.org is probably at the top.

Any medium qualifies, but it cannot have Wesley Clark's name in the title. Thanks to all who answer!

[WilliamPitt]

1. I go to Wesley Clark for my editorials

Like the CNN editorial from October 10 2002 where he said "Let's Wait" before going to war.

Maybe I'll start a thread about that.

[Iverson]

4. No No NO!

Your answer must NOT have Wesley Clark in the title.
Try again!
:o

[WilliamPitt]

7. I go to the General for my editorials

He whispers them in my ear and I go start a thread about it.

[Iverson]

I like Buster Keaton movies too.

[Wetzelbill]

2. Truthout

[oasis]

3. Los Angeles Times and Salon.com

[HereSince1628]

5. toronto star

but I get all my NEWS from The NATIONAL INQUIRER!

God, I just have to know where the crop circles come from.

[JewelDigger]

11. All of what is called 'mainstream media' has indeed become

The National Inquirer!

A Note to 'Mainstream Media': If someone won't allow you to put their name to a quote, then you don't use it! Period. There is reason for that practice. People (and their reputations) should stand behind what they say. Period.

[kayleybeth]

commondreams.org is great

Truthout is my favorite though.

[Wetzelbill]

9. great minds think alike

those are my two favorites. I like Counterpunch.com, tompaine.com and crisispapers.org, as well.

[goodhue]

6. Fighting Bob

[JVS]

10. I manage to cobble together what is going on in the world

by reading Awake and the Watchtower from the JW's, the free LaRouche papers they hand out by the library, and of course my subscription to "Extreme Leftist Agitator Weekly"

[KG]

12. wsws.org

:)

[nostamj]

13. smirking chimp is good for editorials

truthout has been mentioned already

[Droopy]

14. yellowtimes.org

They've been slammed by detractors since day one. They've pissed off everybody at some point or the other. All that they've done in my view is spoken the truth about US foreign policy. It's an excellent site for commentary.

[Chovexani]

15. The Onion

Seriously, it's the only news I can trust. :evilgrin:

I refer to most mainstream papers as the Daily Prophet. The Daily Show is like the Quibbler. :)

[Iverson]

16. this kick ...

... isn't at all about Wesley Clark.

:donut:

[KittyWampus]

17. Many Sources

But it's important to remember that every news source has editors and that editors can have bias and/or agendas.

[Tinoire]

20. antiwar.com

They have a terrific compilation of LBN and editorials from 1st rate sources.

You already listed my next fav (common dreams)

21. My code: never...ever...trust a single source

IMHO, editorials are not news they are opinion that may contain news. And yes, everyone of us is biased. So my code is to find a minimum of three sources which might include editorials. Often listening for what's left out, what is illogically juxtaposed, and what qualifiers and buzz words shade the issue at hand, can lead to a seach in another direction. Gathering the facts, checking the source, and reading through a critical lens may often lead to ambiguity; nevertheless, it has been my experience that before long the missing piece drops from news-junkie heaven and voila! When I read Jay Bookman's AJC piece on PNAC followed by a column in the Guardian, I had one of those experiences. Seemingly unrelated news that had jumbled down the info-pike for months, came together in a seamless fit.

And as Emerson would council: always be ready to change your mind.

[Iverson]

25. You appeal to common sense.

Your sampling of multiple sources is exactly the thing that would lead you to have a favorite. Will you divulge?
