If you've been keeping up with the blog, you'll know that I'm caught up in political coverage and that I try to read sources that represent both sides of the story. The best of these sources is The Page by Mark Halperin at Time Magazine. Mark is a regular contributor to the Charlie Rose Show on PBS and he is the former Chief Political Director at ABC News. There's been a big gaping hole at that news division since Halperin left. He doesn't have the ideal camera persona, like George Stephanopolous, but he has such a breadth of knowledge and detailed analysis, who cares about his charisma. This is definitely a case of substance over style.
The reason why I like The Page is that Halperin hits the highlights of the political news day without providing any commentary. He leaves it up to the reader to pick out the juicy tidbits.
