[QUOTE="MWBATL, post: 435480, member: 944"] I actually don't ever read Breitbart of InfoWars of that ilk. I do find Washington Examiner to be as reliable as the Washington Post (if not more so). I get most of my news form the WSJ and will also look or listen to NPR (despite their obvious bias, they at least make an effort ot be more in depth and add some context to their news reporting). My biggest complaint about most so-called news organizations is their obvious lack of perspective when reporting news. By which I mean that you can publish just about any sensational headline and it might be technically true but highly misleading. For example, you could scream about the discrimination against trans-gendered or gender neutral people but fail to mention they are only 1% of the population (if that much). While people who were screwed by ObamaCare were 17% of Americans. You can scream about family separations by, my goodness, it wha less than 3,000 kids and is something that has not been done in a vacuum (Obama did it), yet that sort of thing is rarely reported. You would have thought we had replicated the holocaust based on the screams of outrage (and some even went so far as to make hideous comparisons to Nazis own their criticism). Those sites that never mention those facts or that falsely deny the context are to me ultra-partisan, and I would shove that whole chart to the left based on that. (I would shove Fox further right too). It is exceptionally hard to get in depth, quality, factual reporting these days. [/QUOTE]
