Can we all agree that it is ridiculous (and less credible) to post from sources that are
Far left Addicting Info

Or Far right Breitbart News Network

Breitbart IS a TRUE NEWS SITE. Live with it.

IF you can PROVE a story is NOT TRUE go ahead an prove it.

You just don't like being exposed to stories NOT COVERED by MSLSD, ABC, CNN etc

But sources on both sides take a couple Grains of Truth, and spin it to unknown degrees of partisanship. It's not surprising to think of the correlation between the rise of the internet, where everybody has some degree personalized news, and in the recent rise of partisanship.

No. One persons wing nut site is another's bastion of truth.
If people do not agree with what is linked to I would suggest point out with "good" links what was incorrect.

So only mainstream media reports are to be considered legit? How dumb are you?

The sad truth is, many people won't agree to it because they have their own agendas. It isn't about being fair and balanced. It is about sticking to one's agenda.
