Good blogs, from http://www.hughhewitt.com/ . Circumvent the bias of the left-oriented conventional media. These blogs represent a movement to render the conventional media irrelevant. The Internet is not censorable by the left (at least not in this country).

From http://www.hughhewitt.com/#postid505

I assume some new visitors will arrive here in the next two weeks, and a few of you will come across the sort of stuff that gets to me via e-mails and which I use on the radio program or post here. In my absence, I suggest you send the good stuff to my colleagues in the blogosphere who have an eye for the sort of stuff that needs attention. Even if you don't want to push info into the open, be sure to visit the short list of bloggers I think are crucial to staying informed and in good humor:

Instapundit http://www.instapundit.com/
Lileks http://www.lileks.com/index.html
Powerline http://www.powerlineblog.com/
Evangelical Outpost http://www.evangelicaloutpost.com/
Roger L. Simon http://rogerlsimon.com/
Captain's Quarters http://www.captainsquartersblog.com/mt/
Shot in the Dark http://www.shotinthedark.info/
Belmont Club http://belmontclub.blogspot.com/
Command Post http://www.command-post.org/
Blackfive http://www.blackfive.net/main/
Smash http://www.lt-smash.us/
Mudville http://www.mudvillegazette.com/
The Corner http://www.nationalreview.com/thecorner/corner.asp
LGF http://www.littlegreenfootballs.com/weblog/weblog.php
Infinite Monkeys http://blog.infinitemonkeysblog.com/
Betsy'sPage http://betsyspage.blogspot.com/
RightWingNews http://www.rightwingnews.com/
Professor Bainbridge http://www.professorbainbridge.com/
MarkDRoberts http://www.markdroberts.com/
FratersLibertas http://www.fraterslibertas.com/

All the blogs on my blogroll to the left are worth a read, but these twenty are must reads. Add in

The WeeklyStandard http://www.weeklystandard.com/

and

The New Republic http://www.tnr.com/

and you are as well-informed about the world as you an American needs to be. For late breaking news, the very best place on the web is the "breaking news" column at

FreeRepublic's Latest Posts section http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/news/browse?ao=0

You're doing yourself a dis-service if you don't include www.andrewsullivan.com as a daily surfing port-of-call. Smile

Agreed.

It really stresses the leftist media moguls that they cannot censor or suppress such Internet sites.

p.s. Readers, be sure to email all of your military buddies this list.

Oh my God. Talk about group think.

If you want to be truly informed, read a balanced diet of information from all different sources.

Just stikcing to approved "conservative" opinion will doom you to eternal stupidity, just as sticking to only "liberal" opinion will do the same.

Read everything.

You might actually learn something from those you disagree with on occassion. I know I do.

Frankly, I think the folks who hide away in ideological spider holes have a big problem with intellectual cowardice and low self-esteem.

It's as though you don't have the mental capacity to read contrary opinins, or stories with facts that don't fit your worldview. So, in order to avoid having to actually THINK about things, and challenge your worldview, you run away like cowards to only those sources that say things you agree with.

Pathetic, really.

What's pathetic Hesiod is that we have to resort to conservative Blogs to find some balance for the effete elite media. I presume from your tone that Indymedia is your primary source of fair and balanced news. Laughing

BTW, I read the WAPO and the NYT daily. Then I go to Insight Mag, The American Spectator, The Washington Times, and the Blogs to get a taste of truth. A truly balanced purely neutral media source doesn't exist.

Thank God for Blogs.

I agree. Thank God for Blogs.

They do have a tendency to expose the B.S. in the mainstream media.

For example, the New York Times just admitted that it got taken to the cleaners by Ahmed Chalbi and reported bogus WMD stories about Iraq.

Thanks to bloggers (and others) the heat was kept up on the NYT to come clean in their coverage and kick the lying neocon hack reporter, Judith Miller to the curb.

Pathetic response, Hes. You'll simply have to try much harder.

If you want to try a site that practices civility, decorum and no flaming, try:

http://www.annoyedman.com/xmb/index.php

There are plenty of posts with members on all sides of all issues. And we keep it respectful!

War Woof!
