Here are the latest rankings of conservative news and opinion sites, which are ranked based upon
Alexa traffic rankings. Yes, some of these are middle-of-the-road or moderate sites, but they are included because they do publish center-right opinion pieces on a regular basis.

"The Daily Beast" a conservative website? In a pig's eye, maybe.
ReplyDelete#8,247,692: Rants and Other Refinements. I keep all three readers glued to their computers.
ReplyDeleteellmAwesome...108 is actually a very significant number with powerful symbolic meaning to various cultures. Well done!
ReplyDeleteChris - you are absolutely right about that, I missed it!
ReplyDeleteHave included DBD in the BadBlue database and also cued up for inclusion in the next list...
Sorry about that!
Daily Beast is included solely because of Eli Lake's reporting...
ReplyDeletewhat happened to iOTW?
ReplyDeleteI always kind of thought radio guys should not appear in lists like this. Not because they aren't conservative, but because they sort of have a different mandate AND because they have a bit of an unfair advantage since they have a built-in audience of millions. They should be in a list of their own.
ReplyDeleteAnd I have a question. What the heck is #56? Creators? Never herd of them and I went to the link and there's nothing there. How can that be a "top" site?
Where's InstaPundit. I see sites like Althouse and Ace on the list -- both of which are clearly below Insty
ReplyDeleteiOwnTheWorld shoulda been in there... somehow got removed accidentally!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Doug! Nice to see some work that filters out the crazy.
ReplyDeleteBeck's new channel on the gas-fired TeeVee has got me watching it once in a while. Having an entire "network" seems to have put him on firmer footing.
I was never a big fan of his radio show, but I watched a lot of his 5pm Fox things. Then it seemed like he was wandering off the map altogether (culminating in that huge, rally-to-nowhere in DC). So I sort of gave up on the endeavor.
But for now, it's nice having a conservative/libertarian news hour with no talk-over-each-other crap, and no Alan Colmes types "for balance."
I hope it stays normal. (-ish.)
The neocons have done to conservatism what the movie Deliverance did to Southern hospitality.

Doug, thanks so much for the work you do on this. I know it has to be quite time consuming.
ReplyDeleteMaggie, thanks - actually, the whole thing takes about 15 or 20 minutes. I wrote some code to help automate the entire process.
ReplyDeleteOne of these days, I'll get the list of sites right. USA Today and Bloomberg shouldn't be there... Day By Day, Barnhardt and iOwnTheWorld should be...
Any chance of shifting over to using Quantcast for rankings?
ReplyDeleteThey seem more reliable (better methodology) and appear to have more data points.
If you used Quantcast "monthly US people" rankings, my site would be at about #114 on this list. And do you really think borderlandbeat.com has more visitors than anncoulter.com ?
ReplyDeletePersonal Liberty Digest ought to be in there. 24,313 global/5,545 US.
