I just found this political website called newsbreak. Some of you may already know about

it, but If not I find that it's very informative and up to date. You can also enter your zip code and read about your local news.

It's generally center-left, but has used questionable sources (Natural News is a scourge, for one) at times.

I don't recommend reading the comments. I uninstalled the app because of that.

just stay away from it except maybe my local news; I certainly don't need anymore stress from reading about the R's and all of their dirty deeds! There is waaaay toooooo much in the public eye as it is!

If anyone knows of any good progressive news sites that aren't yet well-established, I'm still looking for sites to add to my list at
[link:http://www.progressive-sites.net/|]

So far I've added more than 600 progressive and liberal websites in 12 categories, but I keep finding new ones. So if you know of any, please check to see if they're already on the list, and if not, send me their URLs. You can send them to the email address at the bottom of the page.
Thanks
