is one.

All three still have spin, but the spin isn't usually in concert with American Spin, and as a result it's easier to spot the real stories.

(Plus I can't read any other languages fluently, and I don't trust machine translate.)

then my local newspapers, NYTimes (yes I still read it), Common Dreams, Democracy Now, The Real News Network
Green news: DeSmog (US & Canada), ProPublica

Naked Capitalism has two daily posts with good links to current events incl politics (Links 7AM US-East and Water-Cooler 2PM). It's a Bernie friendly environment. No one likes Hillary. Most commenters think the Dem party is as bad as the Repubs -- both Neo-liberal scum.

Edited to add: I also get a lot of news from my peeps on Face Book.

Ted Cruz thinks people don't have a right to "stimulate their genitals." I was his college roommate. This would be a new belief of his.

... I read it only, when an essay here or a diary formerly at TOP linked to articles on those publication and they triggered my interest.

I read twitters of the intercept and lots of other people of interest to me, but not regularly. I feel pretty much everything is well covered in the EB. When I am bored I go to twitter and follow what a couple of people have recently said, including my old bosses.(they have no clue)

I think that is way too much reading and no writing. So, I will cut myself off everything, just to get into other reading and writing habits. It's definitely an addiction to read online for me, and I need to prove to myself that I can quit the habit. Otherwise I feel like the never ending and ultimate loser. ok, so I am losing, I know.

Also, Josh Mitteldorf’s Daily Inspiration often links to new and interesting developments in, for example, the philosophical underpinnings of science.

Yes, this is the same Josh Mitteldorf that, based on simple physics, agrees that the official 9/11 story is — must be — false. And is willing to say so publicly.

I think we should keep it going, adding everyone's preferences as we go to create a great blogroll for c99%.

I could think of more. It'll come to me.
Now I've got some great new sites to look at.

I watch some tv news mostly RT very little network news,Thom Hartmann radio show and bounce around many of the internet news sites mentioned already.I also get regular emails from a very informative site called OCA (organic consumers assoc.) about the pesticide covered GMO foods we are being force fed from factory or corporate farms and there toll on the planet that is as bad as the fossil fuel industry.Highly recommended.

and often forget or don't have time to go back to the sites that I best like. A list--a sticky?-- of good (and bad) sites would be greatly appreciated. Currently, by folder for Alternative Media contains nearly 50 entries. I really need to work out some kind of plan for visiting them on a regular basis.

While they do not cover the election as much as most--in fact, some not at all--what I find useful are the college/university journalism department publications. Examples: Columbia Journalism Review, Reveal, Investigative Reporting Workshop, Schuster Institute for Investigative Journalism and Wisconsin Watch. The last carries some national/world stories but more regional news that the others, but is a good example of what types of reporting are done by various state university journalism departments.

Journalism students are still new enough to have some integrity and most are probably still invested in the tenets laid out by the Society of Professional Journalists in its Code of Ethics.

Here is some good news btw: Bernie Sanders Wins TIME 100 Reader Poll Sanders received 3.3% of the votes; HRC 1%.

And believe it or not - The American Conservative (Not at all what you'd expect - Lots of honest, thoughtful and thought-provoking writers (even when I disagree with them, which I find I don't always), and commenters who span the entire political spectrum engaging in respectful dialog. I know, it sounds like a pipe dream, but it isn't.)
