in the end, this is probably the backwards way to go about your daily news reading. a whitelist of good sources is easier. facebook interest lists and twitter lists, follow good sources.
redef has a source chart, aldaily has a great left column of sources, you can add LB after the slash of techmeme, mediagazer, and memeorandum to see their leaderboards. longform by publications or writers.
This has a pretty obvious left-wing bias - it's full of right wing sites whilst completely faiiling to list any questionable left-wing sources. For example, the Daily Kos lets basically anyone post articles and isn't on the list.
"It’s always best to read multiple sources of information to get a variety of viewpoints and media frames. Some sources not yet included in this list (although their practices at times may qualify them for addition), such as The Daily Kos, The Huffington Post, and Fox News, vacillate between providing important, legitimate, problematic, and/or hyperbolic news coverage, requiring readers and viewers to verify and contextualize information with other sources."
If you know of some left-leaning sites that should be added let her know about it. I don't think the goal here is to be partisan.
Is there a site on there that is misscatagorized? Is it missing something that you know of? Let me know and I will fwd it on to the creator if you don't want to. :)
