174. The Blotter: (by the ABC News Investigative Team)
We decided to create this space as a place to break stories, update stories and feature analysis and outside comment. We also want to recognize the excellent investigative work done by other journalists elsewhere. It's meant to be our take on the old-fashioned police blotter, where events of note were recorded as they unfolded. We have one of the most accomplished groups of investigative reporters in the business and this space gives us another outlet to bring important stories to the public. Alexa rank: 44

117. Hot Air: Get Your Fill
I formed Hot Air Network, LLC, to bring ideological diversity-because we all love diversity-to the videoblogging world. And because it looked like a lot of fun. Two of the most cutting-edge bloggers on the Right have joined me in my cyberquest: video editing whiz Bryan Preston and the almighty Allah Pundit. Allah likes to think of us as a little Internet garage band. Only we're playing in three separate home offices and a basement. But you get the idea. Our mission at Hot Air is to:

Exposes the danger of radical islam. "Little Green Footballs is not a right wing weblog. Taxes, social programs, moral behavior, tradition, these topics generate widely disparate views among its readership." and "Many would be considered liberals, many are Democrats, most are moderates." Alexa rank: 26,319
Why Jihad Watch? Because the West is facing a concerted effort by Islamic jihadists, the motives and goals of whom are largely ignored by the Western media, to destroy the West and bring it forcibly into the Islamic world -- and to commit violence to that end even while their overall goal remains out of reach. That effort goes under the general rubric of jihad. Alexa rank: 56,912

34. Daily Kos: State of the Nation
Markos Moulitsas -- a.k.a. "kos" -- created Daily Kos on May 26, 2002, in those dark days when an oppressive and war-crazed administration suppressed all dissent as unpatriotic and treasonous. As a veteran, Moulitsas was offended that the freedoms he pledged his life for were so carelessly being tossed aside by the reckless and destructive Republican administration. Daily Kos has grown in those five years to the premier political community in the United States.... Among luminaries posting diaries on the site are President Jimmy Carter, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi, and dozens of other senators, congressmen, and governors. But, even more exciting than that, tens of thousands of regular Americans have used Daily Kos to lend their voice to a political world once the domain of the rich, connected, and powerful.
