The above is a comparative ranking found at Commondreams.com to many popular websites. I assume that DU's ranking is for ALL sites. But I think it is useful to know where we stand in relation to many of the "political" websites.

This indicates the importance of this site in shaping opinion.

What do you ALL think about this.

1. Maybe we are being noticed.

And maybe this will have possitive effects. Cool. Are we one of the "Big Boys" yet?

2. Notice that Free Rep doesn't...

... hit the list at all.... (On edit, occurs to me that maybe it wasn't added to the search....)

And, some surprises--Will Pitt should be happy--truthout beat out Buzzflash. (!)

But, of those ranked, on the right, there's Drudge and Gasbag. A lot of lefties well represented.

Cheers.

3. DU's not in bad company...FBI...DoJ...Pentagon... Congress...

Although DU is still the place to go when one wants to get The Truth about what's going on at the FBI...DoJ...Drudge Report.
