Welcome to Patrick’s Place, home of the Saturday Six, the Sunday Seven and Monday’s Morals. Patrick is a television producer, writer, Mac lover, and Christian, though not necessarily in that order. He has a natural dislike of double standards and poor grammar.




1. CNN
2. MSNBC
3. The Huffington Post
4. BBC
5. Washington Post
6. USA Today
7. Google News
Mine are up, with the caveat that they are new to me, not new-just-starting (except one).
1. Huffington
2. Politico
3. Salon
4. Daily Beast
5. The Hill
6.WaPo
7. NYT
This was tough, Patrick. I needed more than seven options. Christian Science Monitor, WSJ, The Guardian (UK),–and most major dailies.
I usually get all my online news through my RSS reader, Google Reader. The top feeds I rely on for news are…
1. The New York Times
2. The Washington Post
3. various Chattanooga Times-Free Press feeds (for local news)
4. The Atlanta Journal-Constitution (for Georgia news)
5. The Nashville Tennessean (for Tennessee news)
6. memeorandum (for important political stories and rantings across the blogosphere)
7. MSNBC (serves the same infotainment purpose as CNN and other sites, but the feed is more managable.
I also regularly read the feeds from Think Progress, Truthdig, and Undernews (Progressive Review) for left-leaning news and views, various sports news sites like ESPN, and various news oriented blogs.
I’ve used many other news feeds in the past, but have struggled to keep my reading list from overwhelming me.
