5) WEBLOGS
Weblogs (or 'blogs') have emerged as helpful editorial aids and sources of some of the most insightful commentary on the conflict. The wide-open nature of this format, however, allows for offensive language and some poor-quality writing as well. We encourage subscribers to check out:
Israpundit: http://israpundit.com/ Regardless of your political orientation, you'll find something that speaks to you on this group-authored blog. On the homepage, scroll down on the right side to 'Bloggers' to see links to numerous blogs addressing Israel and the Mideast conflict.

And of course, be sure to check in daily on HonestReporting's own blog, BackSpin, http://backspin.typepad.com/backspin/ for frequent updates on media coverage of the Mideast conflict.
