This web site displays liberal and conservative news information side-by-side—on the left and right, respectively. The search page returns Google search results limited to popular liberal and conservative news sources. The newsfeeds page shows aggregated headlines drawn from the same sites' RSS feeds.

Our political spectrum is defined by a subjectively-observed distance between opinions. You are free to disagree with the placement of these sources on the left, right, or center. However, if you feel I am missing a source, or have a source in the wrong category, or could make this more useful, please email me with your suggestions.
The search page performs whole-site searches on the above sources. All of Google's standard search notations should work. Click on the 'gear' icon to reveal advanced search filtering/sorting: first, to restrict the search to the types listed (but still limited to the above sources); second, to sort the results with newer items first (default) versus by standard Google rank. On the search page, whenever you hit the "Submit" button, the URL will update to match your search term and advanced settings. This allows you to copy the URL and send your search to someone else via e-mail or whatever. (I'd recommend a service like bit.ly to shorten the URL.)
If a site offers separate topical RSS feeds, the newsfeeds page only displays headlines from "political" or "national" newsfeeds. Not every source offers an RSS feed (for example, MoveOn and Rasmussmen), and there is presently no "center" RSS feed column. You can access the feeds directly via the RSS icons at the bottom of the feeds page, or here: left or right. The newsfeeds page should update itself every five minutes.
