…at Crooks And Liars, the liberal video blogger website that just keeps evolving and evolving…and becoming a several-times-a-day addiction the more you read it because it just keeps getting better and better.
We know that this site’s readers include thinking people from many different viewpoints and we MUST say this: it really doesn’t matter if you’re left, right, center — Crooks And Liars is required viewing if you have a computer.
Why don’t we say reading? Well, there is good reading on it. Lots of short, punchy, links and comments on stories (unlike TMV who is also known as Mr. Wordy).
But one of its most endearing qualities is the wide variety of video snippets it offers you, repeatedly, unrelentingly, throughout the day. A serious news clip? Jon Stewart’s stinging monologue? A screech fest on cable between a rightist and leftist? A dramatic announcment by a politico? Chances are you’ll see a short, highly readable post containing a short comment and a link to a high quality video. You can CATCH UP on all the videos you missed. He is also one of a small group of bloggers who puts ORIGINAL REPORTING on his site — thus using the full potential of the weblog as a new media infotool.
Crooks And Liars is the brainchild of professional musician John Amato, who created it while recuperating from an illness. And he has seen it zoom higher than Boy George. The result: Crooks And Liars is now his fulltime job (and Amato occasionally does a no-holds-barred commentary at the Huffington Post).
NOTE: If you like it and visit it, realize that the site’s super-fast growth left Amato with unexpectedly high costs. He’s looking for donations this week and you can make one by CLICKING HERE.
Crooks And Liars is FUN and informative and TMV reads it every day — even on the road. Take A Peek at Crooks And Liars and we’re sure you will be taking 10 or 25 daily peeks…
