realclearpolitics.com would be another good source.

re: these being difficult because they are aggregators, could you just scrape the sites to find what they are linking to, then perform the same "social share is rank" logic to them?

newswhip.com is a site that does something similar, but it's very expensive. I would love an alternative!

I read many different sources, but I'm always curious what the "average" person is reading. What was the most shared/read article yesterday/last week, etc.

So currently it does fetch most of the sources aggregated there such as NYT, Washington Post and Im working on adding more, but doing one more hop with another news aggregator sounds less efficient.

Those aggregators linking to the article could be counted as a "super vote"
