Let’s Remember Some Blogs

Deadspin, Gawker, The Awl…what else?

The news over at Deadspin, where a corporate ghoul named Jim Spanfeller is apparently hell-bent on turning the site into some kind of Sports Forbes hellscape, is grim.

This fucking sucks.

Remember when blogs were good? Let’s remember some good blogs together.

  • Deadspin
  • Gawker
  • The Awl
  • Atlantic Wire
  • Take the Handle
  • Grantland? (Kind of a blog, right?)
  • The Hairpin
  • Splinter
  • Warren Reports
  • The Toast
  • ThinkProgress
  • Blog for America
  • Danger Room
  • Fire Joe Morgan
  • Harper’s Magazine

What are some blogs that you remember?

BEFORE YOU CLICK AWAY!

“Lying.” “Disgusting.” “Scum.” “Slime.” “Corrupt.” “Enemy of the people.” Donald Trump has always made clear what he thinks of journalists. And it’s plain now that his administration intends to do everything it can to stop journalists from reporting things they don’t like—which is most things that are true.

No one gets to tell Mother Jones what to publish or not publish, because no one owns our fiercely independent newsroom. But that also means we need to directly raise the resources it takes to keep our journalism alive. There’s only one way for that to happen, and it’s readers like you stepping up. Please help with a donation today if you can—even a few bucks will make a real difference. A monthly gift would be incredible.
