Friday, September 11, 2009 at 12:02AM World Politics Review has started its own daily media roundup and it's great. First, I thought to myself, "No, another compilation to wade through!" But after using it for several days now, I'm beginning to dig it.
Bonus: it's free.
You can read it on their site or sign up to get it by email. Comes every morning, and has approximately 20 news and 15-20 opinion pieces
