I obviously spend a lot of time here and often go to articles recommended by fellow DUers. I also follow a few people on Twitter and spend time on Daily Kos and TPM. I used to subscribe to the Washington Post, but got rid of it because I wasn't reading it enough.
What about others? I'm starting to worry that all of this bouncing around online means that I don't spend enough time reading longer articles and essays that really delve into things, but I'm also a little overwhelmed with all of the content available online.

(19,564 posts)Put a bunch of reporters (AP, Reuter's, NYT, WaPo, WSJ, etc.) in a twitter list. Only the ones you trust to be real about their investigative reporting. It helps to keep up easily.
I read far too many publications to be honest, I'm an information addict. My subscription list is epically long. Better to just use my hack and then use private/incognito browsing to view if you're just looking for highlights.

So I check four to eight every day and try to avoid spin and opinions.

(18,125 posts)Also, I think I'm one of the few people here who likes Rawstory. I don't go to their site, though. I can see their headlines from this site:

That way, I'm avoiding all the ads that make the site unreadable (unless I click on a particular article).
