The obvious flipping of Drudge is a disappointment.

Now, I agree, in part, about WhatFinger and the other outfit.

It is a concern there is NO identifying markers or "about" pages that puts names and professional histories for the individuals assembling the data.

Just this week, the revelation that Fusion GPS was initially funded by the Washington Free Beacon Bacon and the link back to the Kristol Klan.

Gotta know the spinners before relying on the weave.

Instapundit is kind of a news aggregator and is quite good.

I rarely bother with Drudge or any other aggregator, because all of the good stories appear here on FR within minutes of being posted elsewhere.

However, I watch CNN. I listen to NPR. And I want news aggregators such as Drudge to include those stories that are not flattering to the causes or people that we support, because it is important to know what the entire population is seeing, hearing, and thinking, not just live in our own echo chamber.

A recent example is how Fox News reported the Manafort indictment and how NPR reported it. I don’t have to like it, but I want to know it exists.

I know Drudge didn’t win any fans during the last election cycle, but he is only reporting what is out there.

RealClearPolitics.com is a good site, IMHO.

Liberty Daily has the same format as Drudge; checking it out but looks okay.

Ever since reading the points raised here by LS, I’ve been tuning in regularly to Big League Politics where he is listed as one of the authors.... https://bigleaguepolitics.com/ Beyond that, it’s FR since anything important will be posted here almost immediately and for variety and to get more perspectives from all sides (just to see what they are saying), Liberty Daily, Fox, CNN and MSNBC (even if these make me ill), OANN, the websites for several of my local papers, People’s Pundit ( https://www.peoplespunditdaily.com/ ) and if I want to know something about what the latest climate change discussion is, wattsupwiththat ( https://wattsupwiththat.com/ ).

The more the merrier, but Drudge still rules because he’s still the best.

Thanks.

I just went to Whatfinger, and it will not be my last trip there.

Haven’t used Drudge for years.

Here’s my daily routine:

Breitbart.com
Libertydaily.com
Rantingly.com
Reddit the Donald

And I saved the best for last:
Free republic.com

I must look at all these sites over 20 times a day each. I haven’t read a book since the election, there’s so much going on with President Trump, I have no time. What a timeline to be alive in! And I haven’t read drudgereport since the bull crap he pulled in Charlottesville.

FR has been what I consider my aggregator for nearly 20 years.

I have no problems with Drudge. He's pretty fair and balanced and that's all I require. I don't need him to be slanted to the right (so long as he's not slanted to the left). Other news aggregators mentioned here are good as well, Drudge need not be the only one. I've been going to the Breitbart page a lot more but they really need a professional web designer as their layout is a hot mess. Content there is good though and is constantly getting updated.

I see a lot of people on the thread complaining about the ads on various sites. Well guess what folks, content ain't free. I thought we were all capitalists here and not a bunch of socialists. You either pay for a subscription or you put up with the ads. The content providers needs to get paid one way or another. So choose your poison.

That also ties into this here Free Republic, which is always in constant fund-raising mode - probably due to the same folks who are always complaining about the ads on the other sites not kicking in a few bucks from time to time.

Now this website doesn't have the ad revenue option to cover costs so they can only get it through donations. Even a $5 monthly spend by each regular user would easily cover the costs.

So there you go, I'll get off my soapbox.

Feedly is an aggregator wherein you select your own sources and it pulls articles from them as they publish. I’ve used it for a long time and like it.
