I believe I should be appointed as Truth Czar. Before linking, just contact me for approval.

Oh, and start off your requests with, "Dear Exalted Viceroy Of Knowledge, Truth And Beer to whom I am a mere ant looking up at a tyrannosaurs ....."

I could agree about not posting links to some random person's BLOG and trying to pass it off as a news source. People have actually done that...


At least identify the link as such.

Read the TOS.

You have no right to tell others what to post.

The OP clearly has an issue in mind & is trying to stick to their own agenda by eliminating dissenting opinions on their issue. Surely you can see right through this nonsense?

On second thought, I'm all for this, so long as I get to decide what is a legitimate source & what is not. Wonder if the OP would be cool with that?

If we did that, 4 out of 5 conservative posters on C-D would never have any backing for their ridiculous claims.
Besides, there's endless entertainment if you read the other stories in many of the links. You'll find out that Obama was really born in Kenya and is a "Manchurian Candidate" whose only function is to destroy the entire nation by providing an avenue for healthcare for all.

Where would one go to find out that all liberals are on welfare and food stamps but have all graduated from some liberal college with advanced degrees?

Where would one find out that all conservative republicans deserve SS and Medicare and every liberal is on Obamacare and food stamps and is a lazy leech, sucking off the teat of government, while conservatives earned theirs?

How would anyone know that Blacks, Hispanics and Indians are the major problems in this country and are on a mission to destroy the white society?

How would anyone know that only conservative republicans have ever fought and died for our country, while all liberals have stayed home collecting welfare and getting Cheetos all over their sofa, watching daytime soaps?

How would one know all know this, if not for the honest, unbiased, conservative, whacko sites, run out of a concrete bunker in someone's back yard and having it's roots in The John Birch Society and Mein Kampf??

".......can people agree....."

So you have a prez who lies thru his teeth and you want to determined whaich are approved news sites? Just what the government ordered.

You can always turn people in to whitehouse.gov or contact those obama wranglers who threatened to sue anyone who told 'lies about Obama' when he ran in 2008. I'm sure you can find allies in that anti free speech group.

Then again you might ignore any media outlet that has a relative of the obama administration working for it.

Too bad your ability to differentiate and evaluate media information is so impaired you need help.

There are dozens of biased sources. In fact, every news source has some bias. So who gets to decide which sources are wingnut sites?
