i usually read from left to right, then down.

It's good to take what you can from both sides - the truth is often somewhere in the middle anyway.

Christ, do a google image search for poignancy and look at what comes up

My friend Maria is a big leftie & activist, and she subscribes to all the major pro-bush, pro-life, pro-gun, pro-conservative newsgroups and email newsletters so that she stays abrest of what those folks are up to. She uses it to launch counter-attacks and interventions and to choose her battles. She forwards me the worst stuff sometimes, it makes me want to puke.

I don't personally seek a balance of right and left, but when I do follow the news, I follow the coverage from several newspapers around the globe so that I can avoid being a complete sheep to the American media.

lefties:
washington post, new york times, the nation, media matters for america, zmag, center for american progress

righties:
washington times, new york post, wall street journel (editiorial pages), national review, new republic, economist, drudge report, fox news


i can't tell what the fuck it changes every week:
slate magazine.

Judging by those lists, the liberal media kicks the crap out of the conservatives.
