Best Blogs

Somehow, this list strikes me as…I dunno….a tad early?

May be just me. Might be better to link to the blurbs explaining the placements, rather than a raw list, too, KT.

Placements are explained when you click on the links. Also, have sample posts from these blogs–and sample posts you would never see on these blogs.

I never thought Kos was a top blog. It’s more for organizing than anything else. What’s missing from your list is Steve Benen and Kevin Drum. Now *Huffington Post* is overrated. Occasionally there’s something good, but you have to sift through a lot of chaff to get to it.

Seems like an od list to me, and wrong on Kos – which remains very substantive on a wide range of topics.
.
But my number one blog for reasoned and readable analysis is Political Animal. http://www.washingtonmonthly.com/
I agree with Rachel that PA Steve Benen is a first read every morning, and through the day.
.
I like Swampland, less for the quality of the posts than for the quality of commenters who happily and substantively take apart poorly reasoned or simply execrable posts (sorry AS and MS).

Agree with JJ, I don’t bother with Huff Post.

JJ & wvng – As much as I did enjoy Kevin Drum (despite his lapses into ‘moderate for moderation’s sake’, Benen and Hilzoy really have taken things up a notch there.

Oh, and where was atrios on the list? No one on the plant is better at getting to the core of any issue in the smallest possible number of words. And digby, fercrissakes, who may be the best writer.
.
It all depends on what you look for in a blog, doesn’t it. Which makes such lists rather silly. I mean, crazy people need their Red State, and clearly there are lots of crazy people around.

I don’t know how it will stand up between campaigns (if there is such a thing as “between campaigns”), but Nate Silver at fivethirtyeight.com has worked miracles with assessment and understanding of pubic opinion polling. He offered rational (and comprehensible) explanations of wide swings in poll results, and he made a final call within about 0.1% in an election where the winning margin was 9,000,000 votes.

kryptik – Kevin is still blogging and doing what he does, now at Mother’s place. Like this piece: What Obama Did.

A list without Digby is laughable.
On the other hand this is the same group that loved Powerline so that helps with perspective.

Matt Yglasias belongs up there too.

Huff Post: overrated and too much hype.
Kos: I like the Abbreviated Pundit Round Up: very punchy.
Digby: well, I guess, there is too much honesty about Washington’s dishonesty. I am surprised it is not here.

wvng – I know Kevin’s still blogging. But…since Steve and Hilzoy took over at WM, I’ve mostly stopped peeking in on Kevin’s place.

Nate did an epic takedown of George Will’s global cooling column: George F. Will Takes on Science, Loses Credibility.
.
Which leads to the core issue. I read about 10 blogs every day (obviously). Political Animal, KOS, AmericaBlog, Balloon Juice, Sullivan, Yglesias, atrios, digby, Think Progress, and Swampland. Oh, and Clemons and the “other Klein”, so make that 12. Each of those blogs has its own strengths and weaknesses and excesses, but they share a mixture of thoughtful analysis (in Swampland’s case in the comments) and privileging correct information over incorrect information. Reading these blogs has made me a much sharper consumer of news than I ever was without them.

Wow…the new media arm (Swampland) of an old media dinosaur (Time) telling me what the best blogs are! I’m amazed you didn’t have Politio on there (cause it’s the best! Note heavy sarcasm.).

It’s kinda like the time when I was in high school where my dad tried to “educate” me about what music was most popular with 17-year olds of my day. I was listening to Nirvana and Pearl Jam and he was trying to tell me that kids these days really like those Backstreet Boys. Love you, Dad, but the musical world passed you by in 1970.

Sorry…meant “Politico”

wvng: looks just like my list plus I go to TPM. I also look in on The Belgravia Despatch (GD). He does not post regularly but has some very useful stuff on international issues.

bitter. oops, make that 13. TPM is my homepage.

Markos Moulitsas — alias “Kos” — created Daily Kos in 2002, a time he describes as “dark days when an oppressive and war-crazed administration suppressed all dissent as unpatriotic and treasonous.” Be careful what you wish for. With the Bush years now just a memory, Kos’s blog has lost its mission, and its increasingly rudderless posts read like talking points from the Democratic National Committee.

.
http://www.dailykos.com/
.
topics on first page right now
.
Four candidates for governer of VA roasting each other with video
.
Brief post about Pres Obama signing the ARRA today
.
Maine’s marriage equality bill
.
HealthCare post about various topic for discussion on healthcare reform.
.
And my favorite, the abbreviated pundit roundup which cuts down on me having to scour the net looking at all the op eds.
.
Oh and Kagro X who wrote the post about why the Dems needed 60 votes to pass the stimulus bill that Time Magazine never found the time to get around to explaining also has a post up with a bunch of fear mongering quotes from Republicans over Bill Clinton’s budget back in 1993. Interestingly it all sounds familiar.
.
I have my problem with dailykos, especially with how people get on the recommended list and the flame wars that get started there but the left handed side of the page is still as relevant as it ever was and to say it isn’t is just a denial of fact. I definitely learn more there than I ever have at Sullivan’s spot because half of the time Sully just reprints conservative talking points without ever checking them out. Just yesterday he had as quote of the day a statement from a guy with AEI that President Obama was different because no other Dem president ever spoke about holding teachers accountable. It took me less than 5 minutes to find a quote from Bill Clinton saying the same things about getting rid of teachers if they don’t live up to expectations almost verbatim. And at least at cost you can actually voice your opposition and submit relevant links to support your dissent whereas Sully never opens comments.

I really like Calculated Risk. Very accessible when it comes to explaining econ. John Cole is the Don Rickles of blogging at Balloon Juice and the regular readers often post with equal dark humor. I read BJ like i used to read the Sunday funny pages. Cathartic.

wvng
.
You should probably start checking out Greg Sargent’s new blog plumline. He has some pretty good stuff there.

Case in point, Sargent just posted about a letter Dem Senators sent to the DOJ asking about the Yoo memos and if they will be released.
.
http://theplumline.whorunsgov.com/letter-from-senators-durbin-and-whitehouse-demanding-torture-report/

Lileks makes the list? At least that will make for a fun Tbogg post.

Oh and one more thing, over at WaPo two lawyers one from Reagan’s WH and one from Bush41′s WH wrote an op ed saying there shouldn’t be a truth commission to investigate Bush or any other kind of investigation over “policy choices”. The last time I checked there were about 200 comments and about 90 percent were from people who want and investigation and were pissed about the article. If you want to lend your voice to the argument here is the link.
.
http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2009/02/16/AR2009021601100.html

sgw, don’t forget the yeoman’s work DKOS continues to do on flu. And Darksyde on science. And the very idea that KOS would take “talking points from the Democratic National Committee” is simply insane. They are far more likely to rip the DNC for doing something stoopid – when they do.
.
sgw has a dandy new site too. Goes down smooth. http://smoothlikeremy.blogspot.com/

sgw, I know I know. The horse has a brand new mouth. With excellent strong teeth. In my defense, I kind of think of Sargent as still TPMish.

The George Will thing bloggles my mind. I try to imagine what these peoples’ lives are like. Will has got like, a half dozen “think” tanks backing him up, plus the editorial staff of the largest newspaper in our nation’s capital. As they say, WTF? It’s like with the Council on Foreign Relations taking Inhofe’s office’s latest piece of junk seriously. All these people went to college, right? So what do they do all day at the office?

“And at least at Kos you can actually voice your opposition and submit relevant links to support your dissent whereas Sully never opens comments.”
.
SG, recall when Andrew asked his readers if they wanted a comment section? Funny enough, he told us the readers agreed with him and didn’t want comments.
Sullivan has some writing talent but he is not the thinker he believes he is.

texgator — I like your way better: Politio
.
I also am puzzled by the absence of fivethirtyeight.com . The non-political blog selection seems random and even precious. I do read and love Boing Boing, Zen Habits and Lifehacker. I’m also a fan of Unclutterer, Treehugger, No Impact Man and Grant McCracken’s brilliant cultural anthropology blog, This Blog Sits at the Intersection of Anthropology and Economics.

Pioneer Woman makes the top 25. Yee-haw. Check it out:
Link: http://thepioneerwoman.com/

I agree with other posters’ assessment of Steve Benen. Drum was good, but Benen has taken that blog to a new and better place. Well work looking at.

For my money, when Kevin Drum went over to Mother Jones, my morning reading doubled in value. (Of course I mean that I still read him AND Political Animal).
.
As far as the list, it is indeed pretty lame. No Digby. No Greenwald. No Atrios.
.
Sorry Time. You’ve been outclassed.

JJ: The George Will thing bloggles my mind. The larger issue is what his msm peers will do about it. Will they take him to task in print? Will they press him uncomfortably about these clear errors of fact on This Week? Or will they nod politely as he expounds on one thing or another and never bring it up.
.
The questions answer themselves.
.
And the answers are why I read blogs. And watch Rachel.

Nate Silver has my vote as #1. I think he’s a time travelling Harry Seldon.

wvng nails it- this list is a joke without Political Animal. Great content and lots of it. Good commenters too.

i like CAP’s wonkroom.

Why I read blogs:
.
So there’s no question that, whatever Will’s intention, his column misinformed readers. But here’s what happened when we tried to talk about all this yesterday morning with Will and Hiatt:
.
Will’s assistant told us that Will might get back to us later in the day to talk about the column. And Hiatt said he was too busy to talk about it just then, but that he’d try to respond to emailed questions. So we emailed him yesterday’s post, with several questions about the editing process, then followed up with another email late yesterday afternoon.
.
But still nothing from either of them, over twenty-four hours after the first contact was made. Nor has the online version of Will’s column been updated, even to reflect the fact that the ACRC has utterly disavowed the claim Will attributes to it.
.
We’re hearing that the Post’s editing process for opinion pieces is virtually non-existent. Maybe that makes sense in some cases — it certainly seems reasonable to give most columnists a freer hand than straight news reporters get. But it’s difficult to know for sure when the Post won’t talk about it. And that approach sure didn’t serve the paper well here.
.
At the end of the day blogs are, as Rachel noted when she got her teevee show, a meritocracy where quality and accuracy determine success. The msm proves, again and again, that it is not.

KT, me too.
.
Halperin likes Drudge and the Corner. What does that say to you?

Am I gonna get spammed with Orange Goo if I say I do think DailyKos is overrated? My big problem with the “overrated” list is it’s way too short.

wvng, Be sure to catch Howie Kurtz’s online chat today.
Dollars to donuts Howie will explain away any concerns about Will’s untruth.

I strongly disagree with your assessmentof the Daily Kos. That blog has much more useful information than most blogs and websites – including this one.

OT, but I am following MCNBC’s David Shuster on Twitter and find it a bit unnerving that it’s around noon and he’s asking US for ideas for today’s “hypocrisy watch” at 6 PM.
.
Shuster1600 co-anchoring in DC until 1pm. Looking ahead to the 6pm… thoughts/suggestions for tonight’s “hypocrisy watch?”
.
Are we that low on hypocrisy already?

Missing from top 25: digby, Glenn Greenwald, EmptyWheel, PZ Myers
.
Unfairly dissed: DailyKos. Lots of good content there you can’t find anywhere else.
.
Left off of overrated: Instpundit, Drudge
.
Although the general absence of right wing voices indicates relative importance of them in the political blogosphere. Outside the Beltway that is.

PNNTO, I won’t be around to watch, but I would never take that bet.
.
I keep waiting for the msm (including KT) to take on the really big story that is staring them in the face. The repuglicans are lying or delusional about practically everything right now. It is quite astonishing. The story of the day should be just how truly disturbed some far-right members of Congress have become.

wow! what an embarrassment.
_
not a single blog that focusses on minority issues — no feminist or womanist blogs, no gay blogs, no african american blogs, no latino/latina blogs…
_
while its always been obvious that Time is all about a straight white male perspective, you’d think that there would be some acknowledgement that there are people with concerns that transcend straight white maleness.
_
And putting the Huffington Post on a list of “best blogs”?!? Only beltway hacks would ever consider the egregious display of vanity and ego that characterizes HuffPo as a “best” of anything other than self-aggrandizement.
_

what should be on it…
_
correntewire, confluence, anglachel, shakespeare’s sister…

KT: “i like CAP’s wonkroom.”
.
I think it’s fine that not everyone’s a Wonk. But come on, George
Will passes himself off as one, with the theatrical bow tie and glasses, and then he can’t even be bothered to get his think tank lackeys to do his basic research.
.
Then Hiatt publishes it. No problem! Who cares what kind of swill we push out to the proles out there in the general public. And if we p*ss off some liberals with our relativist attitudes toward the truth, who cares? In fact, it’s fun to p*ss off liberals. Much more fun than trying to do a good job running the country, which is kind of a bummer.

By definition Drudge should be on the most overrated list.
.
Halperin says “Drudge rules our world” but it doesn’t crack the top 10?
.
I wish I could do the sound effect of a stadium full of people chanting.
.
OH VER RAY TED BOOM BOOM BOOMBOOMBOOM

joyomama Says:
.

.
I would say that the level is perpetually “neck-deep” for that commodity.

How can you list Daily Kos as one of the worst because it is “nothing more than an extension of the DNC talking points” and not include Drudge? You may not like his political ideology but at least Kos provides interesting commentary and challenges his readers to get involved and change the system. All Drudge does is posts links that have an overall meme of “liberals are bad, conservatives are good”, “I hate the Clintons”, or whatever the RNC-approved message of the day is. As a source of news, information, entertainment, or even socially relevant commentary it is worthless.

PNNTO: Sullivan has some writing talent but he is not the thinker he believes he is.
**
You have a talent for understatement.
**
Steve Benen should definitely be on the best list.
I second or twelfth or whateverth those who are surprised to see HuffPo on the list. They have some good stuff, but in terms of content and lay-out the good stuff is obscured by a lot nonsense. That site’s a mess.

**
As for Drudge, Halperin’s “Drudge rules our world!” is what I believe Villagers call a Kinsleyan gaffe. They don’t want to admit how much Drudge influences their work.
I’m pleasantly surprised to see Teh Politico isn’t on the list, which I suppose would be an indirect acknowledgement of Drudge’s influence.

.
Echoing prior sentiment over the Washington Monthly‘s Political Animal…Benen does more (sensible) analysis and commentary before 9am than most others do all day long. If you want to know what’s percolating in the consciousness of the center-left, check there. The train of thought pulling into the right-wing station stops by Redstate, ‘tho to truly get a sample of Teh Right-Wing Crazy, spend a few minutes at Freerepublic.
.
Oh course, y’all here at Time realize that you are just begging for one of the major blogs to to a feature a list of the top and most overrated dead-tree mags, right? Prolly gonna get at list of ‘Worst Mainstream Media Blogs’, at the very least.

Ok who do you think is winning the pr war, Dems or Republicans? Write your answer down, then go to this new gallup poll and check out the new approval ratings. One group has gone up and one group has gone down. Here is a caveat, overall the approval ratings has shot up 12 points in a month to 31
.
http://www.gallup.com/poll/114670/Congress-Approval-Rating-Jumps.aspx

Sullivan has some writing talent but he is not the thinker he believes he is.
.
PNNTO, that’s a great line. I’m totally going to steal it but don’t worry I’ll give you credit.

Could someone ask the not-a-media-critic to ask someone in the same room w/ her what that person thinks about the Washington Post’s blatant attempt at misleading their readership?

.
Missing from list:
http://www.propublica.org/
http://www.ritholtz.com/blog/

not a single blog that focusses on minority issues — no feminist or womanist blogs, no gay blogs, no african american blogs, no latino/latina blogs…

.
Pam’s House Blend.

The dead-tree dissing has already started, by none other than former Swampland blogger Ana Marie Cox (via twitter)
.
“Time magazine? Oh right, that’s the one my dentist likes! ”
.
‘course, it’s hard to tell when AMC’s being serious…

I like Sullivan, in part because of the non-political stuff he includes. Some of my favorite sites came via his blog. And although he doesn’t enable comments he does include cogent readers’ dissents.
.
Would have had a hard time making it through the general election without Nate Silver and co, and I like the direction he’s taking post-election.
.
themudflats.net was a great find for an Alaskan take during the general, and continues to be worthy.
.
For the inane need a break category I like cuteoverload and cakewrecks.blogspot.

TPM is the uber-blog. HuffPo’s on the wrong list. Kos is overrated, but not for the reasons you give.

re Drudge: The fish doesn’t notice the water it swims in.

George P. Polk Award Winners Announced, strangely enough, no one from Time won anything:

.
You know who did win? This guy that wrote about Pentagon propaganda program, which interestingly enough, Time chose not to cover at all:

” Fighting legal red tape for almost two years, Barstow revealed that these ostensibly “independent analysts,” who appeared on TV continuously, not only repeated Administration talking points regardless of their own doubts, but also used their time on air as well as their special access to military leaders to advance undisclosed interests with defense contractors who were paying them sizeable fees to serve as consultants.”

teh Politico
.
http://wonkette.com/406315/politico-writers-are-rich-tax-them#more-406315

I like the Talking Heads columns on Sundays for all the news shows, but that’s about it for HuffPo. Other than that, I can barely stand its layout.
.
And the lack of digby and Greenwald on the list just highlights the irrelevance of Time and its endless lists.

Wish KT or Joe would write a post adressing wvng’s comments on this post and the last. The Republicans keep spreading lies and the MSM keeps reporting them as truth. This is the big unreported story of today and everyday.

In all fairness HuffPo does have some talent like Jason Linkins. Now to me the problem is that on HuffPo you have almost too much info and too many categories. But while I don’t think they are one of the 10 best HuffPo is a decent blog. You will learn a helluva lot more there than at Swampland thats for sure.

And once again, I would like to submit a request for wvng to beam information directly into my brain – his links are vastly more informative and entertaining than most of what crops up on Swampland.

I can’t take any list seriously that puts DK in the worst column.

sg – yeah, Linkins! That’s the brave soul who watches the Sunday talk shows and renders them into digestible information.

Interesting to compare Swampland’s Blogroll with Time’s list. Looks like each of the posters got to put in a few. (I’m just guessing that Amy added CBN’s Brody File, but I could be wrong.) At least Kos doesn’t make the Blogroll either.
.
I just noticed this recently — has it been there for a long time?

DKOS belongs on the best list for no other reason than Billmon posts there.
.
“The George Will thing boggles my mind.”
.
Don’t let it. This story should crystallize in your mind what the MSM does. They misinform. That is their mission. To misinform in a way that protects the corporations that own the MSM and moves forward their agendas and protects their interests. It’s been 24 hours and their refusal to correct or amend speaks loud and clear about the Washington Post’s intentions.

cliff – I’m working on it.

I love me my weekly Linkins. I think he should try out for the new 10 PM MSNBC timeslot. Who else? (I nominate pourmecoffee to do their scroll, if they have one.)

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2009/02/17/progressive-hosts-vie-for_n_167564.html

I’ve always liked DemConWatch. Great coverage of the primaries and convention last year, and they’re all over all the cabinet nominations ups and downs this year.

I’m not sure what qualifies the editors at Time Magazine to meaningfully opine on what constitutes the “Best” or “Overrated” blogs.
.
How do they know?
.
What are the criteria for such judgments?
.
Did they ever ask us?

“Be sure to catch Howie Kurtz’s online chat today.
Dollars to donuts Howie will explain away any concerns about Will’s untruth.” Me at 11:50.
.
I lose. I submitted a question, I doubt I was the only one as this is getting a lot of notice at TPM etc.
I even asked in the way he likes “Hi Howard, thanks for taking the time blah, blah, blah”. The Will dishonesty never came up.
.
Media critic Kurtz DID address other weighty media issues like
who the current leader of the modern conservative movement is.

Ok who do you think is winning the pr war, Dems or Republicans
_
you might wish to fully understand your source before you go making a fool of yourself.
_
Gallup did NOT ask about Democrats and Republicans in Congress. Instead, Congress’s overall approval rating went way up because Democrats are expressing more approval of Congress.

A list of top blogs from Time is as worthless as any other list they’d provide.
.
My top site is my own, where I do things like tell the truth about an issue that Tumulty and many others lie about, including doing real reporting not just bloviating.

Digby is too honest about our inane political elite the “villagers” & the folks they despise, the “dirty blanking hippies” to get her proper due. She’s insightful & keeps her eye on the larger picture.

I love Cole’s “Informed Comment” & “Calculated Risk” the blog about what Atrios calls “Big Blankpile”.

I also enjoy No More Mister NIce Blog.

& I miss Steve Gilliard who would have had a field day with his nemesis Michael Steele.

My Sunday morning favorite is Atriot CultureOfTruth. He posts an archive.

Congress’s overall approval rating went way up because Democrats are expressing more approval of Congress
.
Yep. Democratic citizens were very unhappy with the last Congress. This one, not so much. Republicans unchanged.

That’s a pretty funny link, jay. Thanks.

Speaking of Billmon, here is on the Beltway:
.

“What I was really wondering is how the American elites could feel so confident in their own entrenched positions that they could so blatantly ignore or defy reality…either that they have lived so long in the bubble of power and privilege that they no longer realize that moments like July 1789 or October 1917 can happen, or that they are supremely confident that populist rage can always be channeled to the right, where it can be easily controlled.Either way, it amounts to the same thing: A total unawareness that at the end of the day, the only thing standing between them and the guillotine is sheer social inertia.”

My top site is my own, where I do things like tell the truth about an issue that Tumulty and many others lie about, including doing real reporting not just bloviating.
.
Hey, no kidding. Self absorbed much?

For some reason that defies my understanding, Swampland has by far the best comment section of any MSM blog I have found. The ratio of sensible/informed to stoopid/insane is really quite high.
.
I wouldn’t bother coming here if that were not the case.
.
Good on ya, Swampland!

The thing is that the Right Wing Noise Machine has no quality control, except for Ideological quality control. There’s no shame for being wrong, because accuracy is far down the list of priorities. For their project, accuracy means very little.

no Nate Silver/fivethirtyeight.com? This saddens me greatly.

CoT does it every Sunday in atrios comments. But you have to enter the crack den to read them. Safer to read the archive.

You could say, I think, that this is the Village list.
