in the end, this is probably the backwards way to go about your daily news reading. a whitelist of good sources is easier. facebook interest lists and twitter lists, follow good sources.

https://redef.com http://www.aldaily.com http://www.techmeme.com/ http://www.mediagazer.com/ http://www.memeorandum.com/ https://longform.org http://hckrnews.com/

redef has a source chart, aldaily has a great left column of sources, you can add LB after the slash of techmeme, mediagazer, and memeorandum to see their leaderboards. longform by publications or writers.

https://redef.com/charts/sources/total http://www.aldaily.com http://www.techmeme.com/lb http://www.mediagazer.com/lb http://www.memeorandum.com/lb https://longform.org/archive/publications https://longform.org/archive/writers

I apologize, redef's source chart is broken today

This has a pretty obvious left-wing bias - it's full of right wing sites whilst completely faiiling to list any questionable left-wing sources. For example, the Daily Kos lets basically anyone post articles and isn't on the list.

They mention Daily Kos.

"It’s always best to read multiple sources of information to get a variety of viewpoints and media frames. Some sources not yet included in this list (although their practices at times may qualify them for addition), such as The Daily Kos, The Huffington Post, and Fox News, vacillate between providing important, legitimate, problematic, and/or hyperbolic news coverage, requiring readers and viewers to verify and contextualize information with other sources."

If you know of some left-leaning sites that should be added let her know about it. I don't think the goal here is to be partisan.

I agree. Also nothing beats critical thinking in the end when it comes to evaluating a news source.
