Best Liberal Blog

3 Nov 2008

Nominate your choice for Best Liberal Blog.

UPDATE: NOMINATIONS ARE CLOSED FOR ALL CATEGORIES. FINALIST WILL BE ANNOUNCED DEC. 29. VOTING BEGINS JAN. 5.

To nominate a blog you need to leave a comment on this entry. Your comment should contain the name of the blog, the main URL for the blog, and (if possible) the URL for a RSS/Atom feed. For example:

Wizbang
http://wizbangblog.com/
http://feeds.wizbangblog.com/Wizbang

Unless you login via one of the supported authentication services (Typekey, WordPress, OpenID, Yahoo, AIM, etc.) your comment will not be published immediately. Unauthenticated comments are placed in a moderation queue. Due to the volume of comments, it may take up to 24 hours for your comment to be approved. Comments from authenticated users will be published immediately.

Every so often our spam fighting service flags an authenticated comment as spam. If put more than 10 URL's in a comment it will set off the junk filter. If your comment doesn't immediately appear that's probably what happened. We review and "unjunk" these comments as we are approving unauthenticated comments. We're sorry for the inconvenience.

Rules And FAQ's

  • You can nominate yourself, don't be shy.
  • The number of nominations a blog receives is irrelevant. One nomination is enough...
  • Rather than add a "me too" nomination for a site you're encouraged to use the "+" icon to indicate your preference for nominees. The "+" ratings are one extra piece of information the finalist selection panel can use to help generate the finalist slates in each category.
  • Given the two previous items, we reserve the right to remove excessive comments (i.e. nominations) for the same site.
  • The nomination period is scheduled to end on Wednesday, November 19, 2008.
  • The nomination period has been extended to Friday, November 21, 2008.
  • Voting for selected finalists is scheduled to begin December 8, 2008. Finalists will be announced several days before voting begins.
  • Read The Nomination FAQ
  • Get Weblog Award logos to post on your site. Link to the nomination index or your favored category
  • Get technical help or ask questions at The Weblog Awards Forum
  • If you are linking to the contest consider using the nomination category archive, as it contains links to all of the nomination posts.

I am nominating From the Left.

The owner, Christopher di Spirito, is a forceful, gay, liberal blogger, who always keeps us informed and amused.

He's fearless and doesn't suffer fools, the rightwing, or the religious right.

He and his blog played a decisive role in the election of Barack Obama.

He's definitely a powerful force in the blogosphere.

Driftglass: A must read for liberal reality. He never holds back saying what we all see but refuse to admit.

http://www.driftglass.blogspot.com

Glenn Greenwald: Of course he represents the liberal edge and is able to point out the propaganda...legality. He's tireless and courageous refusing to backdown or backoff the media darlings or the political leaders of the money party beltway insiders. His efforts need to be recognized by all liberals.

Left of College Station was created in June to be a voice for liberal and progressive ideas in the conservative community of Bryan-College Station, Texas. (Which is home to Texas A&M University, which according to the Princeton Review is the most conservative college in the nation.) LOCS follows both local and national political and social events, posting headlines and articles and three to four times a week posting original content blogs. LOCS cross posts diaries on Texas Kaos, Burnt Orange Report, and the Daily Kos.

Fearless prodding at the hypocrisies of the political establishment, aiming both at the right and the faux-left. And funny too. Brilliant coverage of the subtexts behind the media hysteria over the Chinese Olympics.
