   Lots of great stuff in that list, thanks!

   You’re missing Carpe Diem run by Mark Perry, a consistently libertarian blog. It would be #23 on this list. Also, I have to echo others, how the hell does Ritholtz make this list? You call your entire list into question by including him.

4. Sprewell on July 14th, 2011 13:09

   Also, Alexa has never been that popular and has been dying out from what I heard. Compete.com might be a better source of data, they have eff.org way ahead of ritholtz.com.

   Surprised not to see Infowars and/or Prison planet. Are they too “radical”? I think not.

   Conservative/Libertarian

   campaignforliberty.com has recently been transitioning to campaignforliberty.org.

8. perlstar on July 14th, 2011 15:57

   How does http://www.cobdencentre.org rank?

9. Anarcho-libertarian on July 14th, 2011 15:58

   I agree with Dave. Why are Infowars.com and Prisonplanet.com not on that list? Infowars.com has been gaining tremdous ground over the last yr. It’s the #1 alternative news site in the world, and Alex’s radio show has been gaining new affiliates on a weekly basis.

    Alexa is good for knowing where IE users who don’t remove spyware from their PCs visit in between paging VM files and losing at minesweeper.

11. FSK on July 14th, 2011 18:04

    Are there any alternatives to Alexa? I suppose most of my regular readers have NoScript and would never install the Alexa spyware tool.

    The Big Picture? Don’t get me wrong, I read The Big Picture everyday but it is far from a libertarian site. It is more Keynesian from what I have seen, though Ritholtz is against bank bailouts.

    Infowars and Prison Planet are both on the Alternate News-Information 100.

    Infowars is #1, I believe.

    Thanks for your comment

    Amazing. While they may cover Libertarian topiocs or issues, none of the sites actually advocates Libertarianism or even has Libertarian in the name.

    Most are run by the usual right-wing extremists either as false-front or in some cases denying they’re Libertarian.

    I don’t accept the anti-war.com reasoning.
    1. It’s run by self-described libertarians
    2. Yes, there are people against particular wars on the left and right, depending on who’s in office, but libertarianism is anti-war Per Se.. which is why noone from the left or right started anti-war.com
    3. By the reasoning given, why would any of our great economics sites be included? After all, There are market fans on the left and right as well!

20. B. Masur on July 15th, 2011 09:14

    You missed economicpolicyjournal.com

21. liberty and anti-war on July 15th, 2011 15:33

    Anti-war.com is listed in the progressive/liberal top sites while it should ONLY be in the alternative top media sites. UNLESS you add it to the top libertarian sites (perhaps conservative ones too as you mentioned).

    Thanks,

22. liberty and anti-war on July 15th, 2011 15:38

    I forgot to add that Anti-war.com, as another comenter said, is by mostly self-described libertarians. Why on not put in with the top libertarian site and take it off the liberal/progressive site?

    They say in their about section

    “The founders of Antiwar.com were active in the Libertarian Party during the 1970s; in 1983, we founded the Libertarian Republican Organizing Committee to work as a libertarian caucus within the GOP. Today, we are seeking to challenge the traditional politics of “Left” and “Right.”"

    They go on

    “The totalitarian liberals and social democrats of the West have unilaterally and arrogantly abolished national sovereignty and openly seek to overthrow all who would oppose their bid for global hegemony.”

23. Dave on July 15th, 2011 16:09

    Don’t worry FP, I’ll still follow ya. lol
    One thought on some terminology, though; The term “alternative” media is nothing more than a msm(mind stupifying media) attempt to discredit other news sources. Just like the “black” market is to the Free market or “gun” violence suggests that death by Estwing hammer is NOT violent.
    To continue using msm verbiage is to support them.
    Jus’ a thunk

    I didn’t see the LIbertarian Party’s web site, LP.org, on the list. I’m curious where they would stand.

    Thanks for putting this list together – could you please fix the name of my show please? It’s Freedomain Radio.

    What a fraud.

    This is ridiculous-most of these are conservative or sites dealing with Libertarian causes. The tip-off is not one of them uses Libertarian in the name. Several even go out of their way to say they’re NOT libertarian.

    I suggest start with (non-partisan) http://www.Libertarian-International.org or the many Libertarian Party or movement sites.
