Most conservatives I know are either the batish crazy type that always feel like they are super intelligent because of the conspiracies they are in on OR are the law and order type that like to be fed a reality without questioning it. Both of those groups are susceptible to falsehoods. Conservatives disdain of science and facts also leads to being easily misled. If you are not intellectually curious you are easily fooled.
You have not provided a single example of Slate being unreliable. That article is extremely well sourced, you just don't like the conclusions drawn from it. It's an opinion piece, get over it -- just like we have to get over the constant drone of bias from your Fox News heroes. But again, Slate is highly regarded for factual information and you've yet to give any examples to the contrary.
These media sources are moderately to strongly biased toward liberal causes through story selection and/or political affiliation. They may utilize strong loaded words (wording that attempts to influence an audience by using appeal to emotion or stereotypes), publish misleading reports and omit reporting of information that may damage liberal causes. Some sources in this category may be untrustworthy.

Sure I can, the article you posted opinion and wrong.
Liberals believe Bruce Jenner and Rachel Maddox are women.
Why exactly do you have such an issue with people being able to choose their gender? Is not freedom a good thing? Why not be free to exercise choice in term of one of the most far reaching aspects of one's life?

How utterly and completely dishonest of you to cut and paste from mediabiasfactcheck and not include the criteria that we were talking about -- RELIABILITY.
Here's what you ommitted:
"Factual Reporting: HIGH"
"A factual search reveals that Slate has not failed a fact check."
That's higher than just about every MSM, higher than Fox, CNN, etc.
Yes, they are biased left. I already acknowledged that, same way Fox News is biased right. But they are more reliable than Fox News, according to your own reference (despite your best efforts to hide that).
Oh, is that what you call the things that are true, but you don't want to know....Put your blinders back on.
