What is the next website you go to after the DU? I usually read
Paul Krugman's column at the New York Times website.

Us newspapers online:

Pick a state and read their papers, always something cool to find.

4. Talking Points Memo. I am following lots of good progressive news sources on Twitter,
so I can actually get a good overview from those as well.

I only get my news on DU, and sometimes from media abroad. I don't trust the American mass media, and don't like many other news websites.

23. I used to read Bartcop and WhatReallyHappened.com daily, but now just DU
There is so much here I can't read it all. And I like the team effort when folks work with and help each other through things.

25. What is TOD?
I tried Google but nothing seemed to fit my expectation (based on your reference to overcoming negativity).

30. After DU
I check out the daily Dilbert and Non Sequitur. Then I hit Yahoo mainly to check if there's mail in that box and the latest news. Then I go to Juanitajean.com. After that I check my folding@home stats.
Once I run through all that I go back to DU and follow links from there to whatever interests me.
I also check crooks and liars and al jazeera at least once a day.

Edited on Thu Nov-03-11 08:45 AM by TBF
then a communist forum, and finally DU. From here there are links to various news sources, also like to check the propoganda paper (NYT) and financial (WSJ) to see what the bastards are doing.

An alternative news source on the Internet that focuses on workers - http://www.peoplesworld.org/
