Default Commentary?

I don't have any recommendations - I read them all. I have bookmarked the NYTimes, Slate and Solon, three big-time liberal sources, and read them every day. I also read National Review On-Line, Drudge Report and my local newspaper (very Republican). I find that if I carefully read anything, I can separate fact from fiction; reporting from commentary. And one comment - there is no such thing as unbiased commentary. When the author identifies his work as commentary, it is his opinion and he's telling you that. If you choose to ignore that, then you read it at your own peril. Everyone has the right to his/her own opinion, even reporters, but that opinion should not be expressed unless it is identified as commentary or news analysis.
