I have read TPM since between the invasion of Afghanistan and Iraq, but only started engaging in the discussion boards since the 2016 elections. TPM has a more limited scope so not all stories are covered (it isn't my comprehensive news fix), but I think they are very good at what they do. And the discussion area on the news is very thoughtful and links t a much broader array of contemporary (and historical) news items.
