Now, the next installment in Extreme Mortman’s regular feature: A peek inside the blog-reading habits of our nation’s top reporters and media celebrities. Greta Wodele is C-SPAN’s political producer and regular host of “Washington Journal,” a daily three-hour public affairs program. Behind the scenes, Greta helps plan and edit C-SPAN’s campaign programming, including the presidential and state races. Prior to joining C-SPAN, she covered Senate leadership for CongressDaily.

Please give a warm Extreme Mortman welcome to Greta Wodele. Here are the blogs Greta Wodele tells Extreme Mortman she reads:

When I am not reading a dozen newspapers for “Washington Journal,” I surf the web for both politics and policy.

To start the day:

• ABC’s “The Note” NBC’s “First Read” or the Drudge Report — a quick look at the day’s headlines and news trends.
• Hotline’s “Wake-Up Call” – one-stop shopping for both the presidential and state races.

Throughout the day:

• Wall Street Journal’s Washington Wire blog written by Susan Davis.
• Howard Mortman’s blog (of course!)
• Washington Post’s “The Fix” by Chris Cillizza as well as the Post’s “Capitol Briefing” by Paul Kane.
• Politico’s “The Crypt” for policy and Ben Smith and Jonathan Martin’s political blogs.
• For investigative pieces, I read ABC’s “The Blotter.” Brian Ross and his investigative team consistently scoop the competition.

For the pulse of the party loyalists:

• Daily Kos
• My DD
• Michelle Malkin
• RedState
• HuffingtonPost

For gossip:

• Media Bistro’s Fishbowl DC and TVNewser as well as Mary Ann Aker’s blog “The Sleuth” on Washingtonpost.com.
