Reading columnists and commenters so you don't have to

For years Speak You're Branes has been ridiculing people who post insane (and generally rightwing) comments on the BBC's Have Your Say discussions.

Mail Watch has been chronicling the Daily Mail's insanity for even longer, with considerable critical intelligence and wit. From the same source but with a wider remit: Enemies of Reason. The Daily Mail Tendency and Stirring Up Apathy do the same thing but less well.

Tabloid Watch goes wider. While Bristol Evening Post Watch goes narrower, and has recently shut up shop.

David Aaronovitch Watch follows the Blairite journalist, but also has a lot of information on Martin Amis and similar intellectuals. They did at one point post a link to the metatextual Aaronovitch Watch Watch, but it seems to have been taken down.

Angry Mob keeps an eye on Melanie Phillips, Richard Littlejohn, and much more.

Christopher Hitchens watch follows the maverick alcoholic.

MediaWatchWatch follows the TV-complaining organisation Media Watch and other pro-censorship groups like Christian Voice (whose voice doesn't seem to have much in common with the Church of England or indeed Jesus).

Opinion Beyond Education monitors Biased BBC (one of a large number of organisations who monitor the BBC for left-wing bias).

Any more?
