What do you recommend for MSM replacement?
Ok let's say I'm tired of the Wash Post and other MSM outlets. I want a good online website for decent news. Currently I rely on Rawstory and Buzzflash. Any one have any recommendation? I'm ready to be part of the revolution to the new news.

1. antiwar.com
Yes, yes, it's run by a big "L" Libertarian, but the opening page is a good cull of MSM and other sources.

7. Ehhh... see, I don't like my news to be biased, either way.
And anti-war is VERY biased toward the other side.

I like reading foreign newspapers online.

8. rawstory is my fav
I like Buzzflash, just not it's layout. Rawstory is very good and has a nice layout. But I just wondered if there is something else that I might be missing, something that you've seen that's better than Rawstory. So far Rawstory is the best I've seen. If some kid was interested in a future in journalism I'd send them to Rawstory. Forget the W Post, it's toast!
The Post is Toast. I'm a poet and didn't know it.

9. I really mainly use LBN here at DU for my news.
You get stories from all kinds of sources, and if a story is inaccurate, it generally comes out in the wash as it gets checked against other sources.

LBN can be a good place to find decent news outlets, as it uses sources from all over the world, as well as U.S. msm.
