Personally, I think we rank higher, but most of us just never leave.

And four of the sites ranked higher are large media outlets (FOX, WSJ, NY Post, WT) that are not “conservative” sites.

Pretty damn sad that FNC is #1. I don’t consider FNC any more conservative than I consider MSNBC to be credible.

How many members does FR have? Is that public knowledge?

I have learned that there are some pretty well known folks that contribute under pseudonyms.

But I don’t know any.

RightWingNews needs to review their definition of “conservative”.

It looks like FR is ranked 17th on this list, but after looking at the sites ranked ahead of FR it appears that FR is the highest ranked Conservative Discussion Board. Those outranking FR are all news outlets!

I thought you would like to get this ping!

I have some problems with this list.

IBD is light years more conservative than the WSJ.
Drudge Report is not a news site. He publishes headlines.

For that matter, FR isn’t a news site either. We republish and comment on existing news. But we have more fun than all the other sites combined!

Alexa lists sites by hit popularity. AFAIK, Alexa is completely non-partisan. They just count hits, that's all.

So who decided which web site would be included in this list? Alexa has some predefined categories, but conservative is not one of them. Did John Hawkins, author of the article, decide who would be on the list? If so, was he fair? How do we know?

Along with some other posters, I don't care what Alexa says, FR is number one in my book.
