Which publication and/or which writers do you think best represent your views and why?

I used to be a Guardian reader and I still am but I had a specific reason for falling out with them and I feel my views are better represented by certain UK independent-left news sources. I agree with The Canary but its terrible and reads like a socialist version of the S*n. I like Novara Media a lot, though the tone is too academic and it needs to reach maturity. Jacobin is the American publication which is closest to my politics and I wish we had a UK specific publication as good.

Owen Jones was once my favourite journalist but I have gone off him now and I think other people have much more interesting things to say and much better analysis. Gary Younge is great, as are the political blog posts of Richard Seymour. I like writers who have interesting things to say beyond the obvious. Stephen K Bush is probably the UK's finest political research journalist. In America, I think Andrew O'Hehir from Salon is a very interesting writer and I love his craziness. His stories read like the ramblings of genius sociology professor late night in the bar. He is hit and miss but he writes like nobody else.
