It surely isn't a pretty website, but it's full of links (leans left but includes right stuff as well) from sources from around the world.

4. You're welcome. Alfredo usually does a daily insert around midday...

The harder news is usually in the lefthand column. The righthand column usually has some very deep academic papers, so if you like that...go for it.

5. But who are these writers and editors?

I looked at the site, the articles are well written and I agree with most of what I saw... but are these just people who work for this website or are these op-ed pieces from other sources?

There is no page on the site that says who they are or what their agenda is or why they do what they do? One thought is that this is a new site and they are getting around to it when they can.

Don't know. Guess I am cynical enough to distrust most media these days - even on the 'internets'.

10. Ok. But who are they and what qualifies them

to write about these issues?

I am not trying to be a smart aleck, just trying to define what level of trust I would put in these writers. For instance, could I write one of these if my writing skills were sufficient? Or are they qualified by their field of study or life experience?
