When you log into the internet, what sites do you go to to catch up on the day's events?

[Generic Brad]

Years ago I used to start my daily on-line experience by reading Yahoo's main page. I was a neophyte, so give me a break. I did not know better seven years ago. Now I find myself starting my evening reading with either Huffington Post or Raw Story to get a summary of the main stories of the day, but I suspect there are some other good ones out there I have overlooked. (I hit DU last because this is my guilty pleasure and I want to be informed before commenting on the day's events).

Which sites do you hit first to catch up on the main stories of the day?

[shanti]

1. right here on DU

:thumbsup:

[Ksec]

2. DU , Kos, NYTimes, Bartcop, buzzflash,

[Monkeyman]

3. DU, VA watchdog

[pnorman]

[spindrifter]

5. DU is one of my first stops and certainly

one of my most frequent stops for updates through the day. Some of our news spotters are onto the breaking news much faster than some of the networks, so why waste time!

[pearl]

10. It's DU

and always DU. I guess by the time I've gone through DU I usually know the back story
Thank You DUers. love you all.
Links to days stories: Buzzflash
Analysis: Daily Kos
Commentary: Huffington Post, Smirking Chimp

[Betsy Ross]

6. DU

I haven't the stomach or patience to wade through the MSM muck. I am grateful to all the DUers who seek out and post the important news of the day.

[Imagevision]

29. ARRIANNA HUFFINGTON -- MICHAEL MOORE - ANTI-WAR

JUST TO GET TUNED...

[pinto]

7. Reuters, NYTimes, DU's LBN for news.

I read the blogs for opinion and commentary.

[Phoebe Loosinhouse]

8. in order - NYT, WP, DU, Daily Kos, Huffington, Raw Story

To me, this is

Mainstream somewhat informed media (often disappointing)
DU and KOS - backstory and extra info that the MSM has missed and will probably cover late if ever
Huffington - the radical chic view
Raw Story - the firebrand, but wait! there's more, if only we could tell you, coverage

[Human Torch]

9. These sites:

1). DU

2). MSNBC

3). CNN

4). Fox (sorry if that pisses some people off...I don't live in a vacuum)

5). Raw Story

6). Huffington Post

7). Media Matters

8). U.S. Newswire

9). Yahoo! News

10). Google News

:patriot:

[GreenTea]

11. Huffington Post, TruthOut & DU! Used to got to BartCop but he's so in love

with Hillary it makes me sick, plus he's too conserative and nuts for my tatse.

I also check out Crooks & Liars, SF Chronicle.

[BlackVelvet04]

First my own message board and then DU....

I find out the latest news on the message boards. I follow the link on the ones I'm interested in and read the whole article.

[Bitwit1234]

12. I like Huffington and Raw Story also Daily Kos

I go to DU last because I read the post and comment. It takes a lot longer to go thru all the posts, read and reply. I just go to Huffington and Raw Story etc to get news.

[OPERATIONMINDCRIME]

13. Generally, Only DU. It's All I Need.

At work though, since I can't access DU's actual threads (I can just read headers on the Latest page), during lunch I read the Latest page headers and LBN headers, then CNN, then news.google. But at all other times, the only place I need to go is right smackin here.

[Generic Brad]

15. DU is blocked where I work

So is KOS, Raw Story, Huffington post and any other site I would care to go to. Interestingly enough, Rush Limbaugh, Drudge, Fox News, and Hannity are accessible.

[FogerRox]

20. What he said

[Dont_Bogart_the_Pretzel]

14. another DUer here...

[texanwitch]

16. DU

This has become the only website I visit most of time now.

I really like to thank all you who post the news, I really don't have the time to be searching the internet for news.

[lordsummerisle]

17. For me it's

(not in any particular order)
DU
Yahoo
CNN
Huffington Post
Buzzflash
NewsHounds
DailyKos
Op-ed news

[StrictlyRockers]

18. DU Reuters Yahoo HuffPo DU is the best. You won't get it faster.

[madmusic]

19. Google is my home page.

So I start with the news there then come here.

[Kali]

21. I usually hit crooks an liars first so I can start any Daily Show/Colbert/Olbermann

downloads (90 minutes for a ten minute video :eyes: see my sig line) then it's straight over here to DU. I only look at MSM stuff if it is in a link from a DU post.

[Turbineguy]

22. Here first

or Antiwar.com

[kestrel91316]

23. DU, of course. Everything of importance shows up here, and very

little dreck.

There is that little matter of posts pertaining to Brittney and the Cruises. But I just ignore them.

[Poiuyt]

24. DU, Rawstory, Americablog, Excite.com, CNN

I like excite because it allows me to customize it to the headlines I am interested in. I also like huffington a lot, but I don't check it hourly like some of the other ones.

[solara]

25. DU first and last

I spend most of my online time here too.

I visit TruthOut , Kos, Huffington, Crooks & Liars, FiredogLake, Raw Story and LeftyBlogs in between.

[Hamlette]

26. NYTimes, DU, Talkingpointsmemo and Andrew Sullivan

I follow lots of links too so I hit a bunch more along the way.

I have this theory that the dems can/should/do have our own wedge issues. Reading Sullivan is a great way to find them, a conservative who is pissed at Bush. He also links to all manner of GOP pundit sites (I don't go to the rabid ones, I know they will piss me off).

Our wedge issues? Balance the budget, get the debit under control and personal liberty. There are enough conservatives and libertarians pissed off about those two issues I think we could get them on our team without selling out anything. I even think they would go for some government spending as long as we don't put it on the national credit card.

[Swamp Rat]

27. DU, BuzzFlash, then the rest of the world.

[alittlelark]

31. DU. If there is anything of note going on

in the world - 95% likely I'll get it here 1st.

Bartcop is my evening entertainment - Through Bartcop I found DU.... I still love Bartcop!

[La_Fourmi_Rouge]

32. For War news, Informed Comment.

I go to Juan Cole's site after I hit up dKos and DU, then Huffpo, and range out from there.

[Jacklyn75]

39. DU of course! n/t

[earth mom]

40. DU September 11th forum is my homepage...

Then I hit DU GD & LBN and sometimes GD-P. I also usually try to check out Huffington Post, Michael Moore and Wayne Madsen daily. If something big is happening or there's a link to a good piece, I'll read Truthout, Raw Story, Kos or In These Times, but I often don't have time because there is so much to keep up with here and elsewhere. I also regularly hit some other forums to see what's happening: Progressive Independent, Rigourous Intuition, Mike Malloy & Randi Rhodes. Yeah, I know a few of these sites are considered too "CT" for DU but I don't care because I've learned a lot from them. :tinfoilhat:
