Uninformed comment -
Blue State has had a WOT red rating for weeks now. This has been a group blog with good political articles. If your defences are good, it might be worth a look. I do wish I had more particulars about the problem with a very good news/comment source.
AVAAZ is another political place hit with an odd security rating - but it's not working at the moment.

Ideology
( Brainwashing at work. Not all people behave the same when presented with obvious bafflegab by a 'recognized authority'. It's another old bugbear of mine : "Moving the Overton Window" - blogged at times by Skippy the Bush Kangaroo, Needlenose, Daily Kos and Last Left Turn B4 Hooterville. You really have to love "Media Control" and its invaluable job in programming the gullible - us. Steve Clemons at Washington Note had a sidebar item about Japanese Mind Control in his sidebar at one time. Which brings us to the next item )
