Who, or what, is Capitol Hill Blue?
Capitol Hill Blue is a non-partisan, take-no-prisoners political news site launched in October 1994 by veteran newspaperman and political operative Doug Thompson. That makes us the oldest surviving news site on the Internet. But don’t take our word for it. Go to Google and see if you can find anything older. Bet you can’t.

But don’t take our word for it. Go to Google and see if you can find anything older. Bet you can’t. Our staff is a rotating cast of volunteers who wander in and out of here like homeless children. Somework for “mainstream” news organizations and use Blue as therapy for the insanity of working for the big news bureaucracies. Blue is a not-for-profit operation where everyone donates their time and efforts. Any revenue we might bring in from ads goes back into the operation. The ads never cover the full cost and Thompson makes up the difference.
