I did enjoy the site for a while for a few years, but I think I stopped going there because their focus was a bit too narrow at the time. I do remember once in a while and check out what articles and interviews they have.

Always thought they did a decent job of providing an outside perspective with journalistic integrity, but that their activist intentions end up legitimizing a bit of their journalistic credibility... Still a great source of commentary and discussion, as long as you have a larger scope of media to put their reporting into context with.

I stick to Foreign Policy. Dissapointed in the fact that Paul Jay is down with the Kulturkampf nonsense.

I stick with the BBC mostly, any media criticised by both the left and the right for being biased seems ok by me.
For legal reasons, we are not threatening to destroy U.S. government property with our glorious medieval siege engine. But if we wanted to, we could. But we won’t. But we could.

Don't they have a pro establishment bias? I would trust a source maintained by voluntary donations far more.

Depends whether you listen to the right or the left. No commercials and ultimately ruled by parliament. That's why they are the best in the world at what they do.

I bet there are a ton of interesting issues and candidates i would never hear about if i only listen to them. Did they ever say really stupid shit on the Kulturekampf front?
