The ONLY responses I would like to see is posts with links for consideration. Ultimately, I want to make a sticky somewhere with all of these for reference/help. What I DON'T want to see is for this thread to turn political or personal or anything other than offering links as suggestions. I am literally not going to tolerate it in this thread. I want this to be informative, and have folks able to offer various sites, all without political or personal injection. Please anyway. :) I want to see additions perhaps for now, as once eventually a sticky, it won't be able to be responded to & a PM will be necessary if you have anything you would like to see added.
I have included quite a few sites here, and both liberal and conservative.
Also - perhaps something different than what I'm thinking here? Maybe some other kinds of additions along these lines?
The following is what I would like to sticky somewhere:
----------
Here is a decent list of news websites and blogs to reference, or to read the news and share articles you find interesting. These are in no particular order and is a list of both liberal and conservative sites.
The bios for each site comes from Wikipedia . Take each description with a grain of salt as they are user updated, but still a good bio of each site.
