How to keep up to date on election coverage

Tuesday, November 4, 2008

Election 2008 is underway and where are you going to get your minute by minute election coverage. If you are like a growing majority of people who use the internet as their main source of information and news, there are a plethora of sites and blogs to turn to. Yet which ones should you go to? This very reason is why we here at The Commuter have tallied together our favorite sites to get election news. And just to make it easy, we have divided the sites by possible biases, because fair and balanced coverage is a lie. So to help you pick your online pundit, we give to you the following links:

For those on the left:
http://www.nytimes.com/
http://www.msnbc.msn.com/
http://www.fivethirtyeight.com/

For those on the right:
http://online.wsj.com/public/us
http://www.foxnews.com/

There are the few who try to stay nonpartisan, how well they succeed is up for debate:
http://www.cnn.com
http://www.gallup.com/poll/election2008.aspx
http://reportr.net/
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/in_depth/americas/2008/vote_usa_2008/default.stm

For kicks and giggles, we recommend:

The only place for true local results is the Oregon Secretary of State’s online site:
