  1. Dean Baker's Beat the Press blog is one of my favorites. Baker critiques media reporting on economic issues and he is especially good when it comes to big media outlets like the New York Times that carry water for the neoliberal agenda.

    Baker is especially good at pointing out elite hypocrisy on free trade as he has done in his last two articles.

  3. Real News Network has a good Progressive channel that Michael Hudson has been on a few times. It's also is blog/text format so you can read everything as well as hear it:

    http://therealnews.com/t2/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=851&Itemid=74&jumival=Michael+Hudson&search=search

    James Corbett has his own Corbett Report channel and has been on RT a few times. He also does Global Research TV and Boiling Frogs Post. His position is AnCap or Libertarian (I think!)

    https://www.youtube.com/user/corbettreport
    https://www.youtube.com/user/boilingfrogspost
    https://www.youtube.com/user/GlobalResearchTV

    There are also text blog format websites to go with each of these.

  5. LK, you gotta see this:

  6. http://eureferendum.com/

    A British Eurosceptic blog that comments on Brexit-related media reports, by liberals who want to pursue the Single Market option. Obviously, most readers of this blog would disagree with their free trade position, but there is still valuable information on the site.

  7. LK, I'm not so sure Breitbart fits with the neo-cons/mainstream right wing these days. They've favored Trump for sometime now, and prior to that, they were oriented more towards Glenn Beck style conservatives than neocon types.

    All in all, a great list! A couple sites to recommend:

    1) For technology news with a left wing orientation, PandoDaily is a pretty good site.

    2) While more of an aggregator, The Drudge Report is huge among American conservatives. There's a joke among those who follow American politics that the daily republican talking points are set by Drudge's front page.

    3) While not in English anymore, the Lebanese periodical Al-Akhbar is one of the best in the region, and also the only one to routinely call out anti-semitism.

    4) The Lebanese atheist and anarchist Asad AbuKhalil's blog, The Angry Arab News Service, is one of the best blogs available for the middle east region. While Asad is a bit extreme for my tastes on Israel and analyzes the region more along the lines of Edward Said, he's proven to be very reliable at seeing through a lot of the shoddy analysis offered on the region these days. He's also a vicious critic of every regime in the region, and an equal opportunity offender when it comes to attacking all religious faiths.

    1. Glen Beck is not Neocon? He disagreed strongly with Ron Paul's foreign policy and I doubt there's ever been a war leveled against brown skin that he didn't like.
