My favorite websites

There are too many sources of information online and if you don’t know how to swim through it all you will drown. Here are some of the websites I visit daily, that are not blogs:
- RealClearPolitics.com - this is a must visit for anyone who likes politics. Instead of sifting through the New York Times and Washington Post daily to find if Maureen Dowd or Bob Novak have some new political op-eds ready for you, realclearpolitics gathers the top political articles every morning and evening to give you a full update on what is going on for the day. This is my favorite website on the entire internet.
- Drudgereport.com - make fun of Matt Drudge all you want, but none can doubt that he gets the scoop before anyone. On the Drudge Report you find out what the New York Times is about to publish tomorrow, before they publish it. It is a top news destination.
- Antiwar.com - the top non-interventionist anti-war website on the internet. New articles from distinguished anti-war conservatives, and some liberals, daily. It also has some really good news feeds for what is happening in Iraq, Afghanistan, Iran, and Lebanon.
- NOWLebanon.com and YaLibnan.com - the source for Lebanese politics for those of you who just can’t get enough of politics in general.
- Mises.org - the premier site of Austrian economics, very enlightening economic articles daily of how government intervention starts the business cycle, the benefits of economic freedom, the case for sound money and a gold standard, and defending the free market from its enemies.
- Opinionjournal.com - the Wall Street Journal is often called the “war street journal,” by anti-war conservatives and traditional conservatives. Its op-ed page is also often corpratist and anti-capitalist, favoring instead socialism for the rich instead of free markets. However none can doubt that of all of the big newspapers, including the NYTimes, the WSJ’s opinion page has some of the most important academics, policymakers, and public intellectuals making insights. Rupert Murdoch’s takeover may be moving them more to the neocon side, however it is important to visit the WSJ’s op-ed page daily.
- iCasualties.org - the latest news from Iraq daily, including every single attack against American troops, and the number of troops that have been killed.
- CJR.org - the Columbia Journalism Review, the source for truly intellectual discussions on the media and the state of journalism today.
- Journalism.org - the Project for Excellence in Journalism, another big source for finding news about the news media with extensive studies concerning bias in the media, this is without doubt a non-partisan website.
- Mediabistro.com/tvnewser - did you ever want to find out what Wolf Blitzer’s favorite food was, or when John King was getting married (to fellow CNN-er Dana Bash)? How about who’s show is getting canceled and why, and who is taking over at MSNBC? This is the website to go, news about the news.
