Even though Right Wing News is an opinion site these days, I do still surf the web for news and to find material to write about. Some websites I read for columnists, others I peruse to see what particular bloggers have to say, but when I’m looking for news, here are the websites I check out in order.
15) Twitchy: Michelle Malkin’s new Twitter based news site. 14) Doug Ross: Larwyn’s Linx is great. 13) Weasel Zippers: Not as much volume as other places, but quality work. 12) Free Republic: Better known for commenting than news, but still good. 11) Bad Blue: Outstanding Twitter based news 10) The Right Scoop: Videos, links, and heavily updated. 9) Daily Caller: The place to go for original conservative reporting. 8) Lucianne: Old reliable. When I have trouble finding something good, I go here. 7) Gateway Pundit: It’s unbelievable to me that any one person can be this on top of things. 6) Breitbart: The combined Breitbart collective is AMAZING for links and journalism. 5) Instapundit: Glenn Reynolds has been the best known linker in the blogosphere for more than a decade. 4) The Blaze: Beck’s news machine is already a must read. 3) Memorandum: What people are talking about right now on both sides of the blogosphere. (Not conservative per se, but still good) 2) Hot Air: Frequently updated headlines, plus the latest news stories. 1) The Drudge Report: Whatever Drudge links becomes what everyone is talking about.
This is a pretty balanced list, taking in the wide swath of the conservative movement. Excellent list.
It's somewhat old, but still good. One of my Facebook friends recently posted this list, so I thought I would share it here.
Drudge #1? Not so anymore.
It came out as all one paragraph in the original post, so I’m trying it again.

Freerepublic. Best. No question. Any of those sites do anything on the level of exposing Rather when he tried to sink W in 04?
For user driven places there is no comparison. Places like daily caller are great but that’s really apples to oranges they have paid staff and ads etc. We just have dedicated folks and donations.
Yes, Headshake.
Not an informed review of “Conservative” websites.
Many of them are not that conservative to begin with.
BFL
all drudge cares about is tom brady ...the guy is obessed with him
**12) Free Republic: Better known for commenting than news, but still good.**
I very often think we get better news here than the msm provides.
Mostly they say "click on my amazing blog to see the latest earth-shattering bombshell BOOM!".
Twitchy is no longer Michelle Malkin. It belongs to NeverTrump Salem Comm.
Agreed!

Yes Matt Drudge likes his prettyboys.
He also far overestimates the appeal of media Industry news.
News that nobody outside of the media industry cares about, but Drudge often makes it the headline.
.
Where is Conservative Treehouse? Sundance is a national treasure.
Horses***.
Blaze? Never go there.
This is bogus - The Conservative Treehouse isn’t listed. That and Free Republic are my reliable sources.
I agree re: FR, but put it significantly higher on your list. Also, however wacko it sometimes may be, IMO Infowars has had more than enough early scoops and Trump-insider info to be at least in the middle of your list, likely higher.
SIX YEARS OLD!
That’s an eternity on web time. Why post it other than historical curiosity?
What would a January 2018list look like?
