Robert Parry's Consortiumnews.com, a decade-old site, was created as "a home for important, well-reported stories that weren't welcome in the O.J. Simpson-obsessed, conventional-wisdom-driven national news media of that time." Parry, a veteran investigative reporter for the AP and Newsweek, covered the Iran-Contra scandal for AP in the 1980s. Arianna's Huffington Post is a continually updated aggregator, and also features a blog with an impressive cast of contributors. And truthout is William Rivers Pitt's place, also an aggregator of news and progressive advocacy. It's also where you can read TimesSelect op-eds by Krugman, Dowd, Herbert, Kristof and Rich, at least for now. Because NewsBank InfoWeb now requires a password.
