Take a Peek at a new site: the Anti Drudge Report. Over the years there have been various attempts at using the Drudge format by others who wanted to see a version of it that is not done from a conservative Republican standpoint. Some of them are excellent (and we have linked to them and given a h/T when we remember to do that too quickly vanishing courtesy source acknowledgement) but it has never been easy to launch this kind of site.
This brand new site promises to be an extremely popular one: the Anti Drudge Report which advertises itself as a site for “Progressives and People That Love Them” is really of interest to anyone who wants great news and op-ed style links. It ha the formula just right to offer variety of excellent news links that will be updated regularly.
Years ago TMV linked to a brand new, fascinating news/blog aggregation site that had just started out called memeorandum — which is now huge and rightfully so. I am sure the Anti Drudge Report will get a huge following as well and it’ll be on the list of the news aggregators that are MUST visits every day. Take a Peek at the Anti Drudge Report and I’m sure you’ll be bookmarking it no matter what your ideology or if you’re like many of us here on TMV who love sites of varying ideology. But mostly if you want some great, fresh links on the news that’s not coming from the perspective of a Rush Limbaugh fan. (We’ve just added Anti Drudge Report to our Left Voices blogroll.)
Take a Peek at the Anti Drudge report and I’m sure you’ll bookmarkt it — and be taking several daily Peeks.
