I figure TSB could use a one stop shop for resources that provided actual facts instead of simply tossing out partisan accusations. This is pretty much open for whenever you find a website, partisan or not, that provides reasonably reliable information regarding a candidate or an issue.

I'd prefer this not descend into an actual debate (that is for other threads), but we'll see how long that lasts

EWG's Farm Subsidy database. A bit specialized, but a useful resource when talking about that topic.

This is a daily compilation of news and current events articles related to defense, security and foreign policy. It's put together by the Assistant Secretary of Defense for Public Affairs; there may or may not be some bias by omission, but it draws articles from a lot of different publications. It's a great way to sift through the chaff as a compilation service.

and pretty much every channel the Economist has out there
