[instapundit.com](http://instapundit.com) is my favorite. Whenever anything is posted that’s tentative, it’s labeled as tentative. And there are frequent updates to stories as new, or contradictory info rolls in.

I’d always trust an established blog over old media because of the instantaneous fact checking that goes on amongst blog circles.
