Websites worth viewing

I was born and raised in an era of nightly news brought into the home by the 3 networks. As cable news and internet news sites proliferated there has been exponential growth in quantity but reduced quality across the board. Here are some of the websites I feel are worth a look, faults and all. I'm not always on board with the opinions/blogs posted, but the news feeds are essentials. FAIR is still one of the best - Fairness and Accuracy in Reporting - http://www.fair.org/index.php. Others of note are Think progress http://thinkprogress.org/ , Truth Out  http://www.truth-out.org/, and Buzz Flash http://blog.buzzflash.com/.  My wife volunteered for a number of years at community radio station KGNU and not only brought me on board but introduced me to radio/internet Democracy Now, based out of NYC http://www.democracynow.org/. Have a read or a listen. Above all else, keep informed.
