Supreme Court of the United States

Although I do struggle to see how how a 53 YO professional can have assets as low as he apparently does. What does a Federal Judge make anyway? Another quick quote from Kavanaugh...

Yeah, it still amazes me how big HP has gotten and how people still gravitate to it even though the majority of their content is created by unpaid, unvetted people with little to no credentials. And the site is more about clickbait than anything else. I guess it is all about SEO in terms of what sources get views.

Vox is similar and I see links to them regularly here.

Vox is not similar to HuffPost. HuffPost is tabloidy news curation and occasional opiniony original content. Vox is certainly liberal-leaning, but is much, much more thoughtful and cogent analysis. And it doesn't pretend to be news. It's subjective analysis pretty clearly presented as such.

So you’re saying that us (quasi-)conservatives have reason to be somewhat skeptical or even dismissive of Vox? As I read your posts referencing Vox, You've often presented thier writing/reporting as middle of the road objective and should be taken as such. Maybe I’ve misread you. I’ve found Vox to be similar to HP but without the rage and trumpphobia. That said, I read Vox occasionally, but with the understanding that it’s lean is left.

No, I don't think I've presented their writing as middle-of-the-road-objective. I've presented it as thorough and thoughtful.

I’ll accept that and say that I have misread you.

maybe I dont understand lefty "news" websites but they seem very similar to me. Not exact copies of each other but close enough to be put in the same bucket.

CNN is lean left. Vox/HP are very left. I'll agree with you about Vox having less rage/TDS.

I view HuffPo as somewhat the flip side of Drudge Report. I view Vox as maybe more the flip side of the Daily Wire, but I give Vox more credit than the Daily Wire because other than Ben Shapiro himself, who is often cogent and thoughtful, the Vox writers are generally far more cogent and thoughtful and absolutely more thorough in their research and analysis than the vast majority of writers on Daily Wire.

Wait, does this sound familiar? Some people only expose themselves to sites that support their own views and it further hardens thier view! Not saying B-Fly is this, but I’ve heard this for years about Fox News watchers but you rarely hear it about MSNBc watchers or HP, Vox, Politico readers. The punch line of an old joke: If the foo shits.

You presented it a liberal-leaning but objective, which is being kind. Sort of like taking Fox as fair-and-balanced.

I don't think I said "objective", but I can't run a search on Vox because it's too short. Saying something leans to one perspective but is objective is an oxymoron, no? I don't think I would do that, but everyone makes mistakes.

[senorsheep]

Vox is clearly left, doesn't pretend otherwise, and provides quality reporting, opinion, and analysis from that perspective. If you believe that the best way to achieve politically balanced thought is to engage the best thinkers and the best arguments from each side, then Vox is a good choice from the progressive side. They're OK with me.

last I checked, which admittedly has been a while, MSDNC was at least as far left as Fox is right.

so what would you recommend as a similar source from the conservative side? I generally only check Drudge so I'm mostly exposed to garbage.
