    Why is it you feel compelled to lie, obfuscate and deliberately misconstrue.

    As with the title of the thread, this is exactly the problem with news coverage in the US.

    They are all ardently partisan.

    But don’t worry. In a week or so Mother Jones will pick it up and have roughly the same take as the first link.

    And as you know, it was not a blog but a civil rights organization. You can’t even read a by line.

    I don’t know that I have ever seen someone as terrified of other ideas as you. Are you afraid to think for your self?

    It was the blog section on the website of a conservative hack organization founded by evangelical loonie Pat Robertson, who spends most of their time challenging abortion-related issues in court.

    So, who reports is more frightening to you than what is reported? How enlightened.

    Perhaps this will shed more light on the problem: http://rsf.org/index2014/en-index2014.php

    But the main cause is political bias on the part of the outlets, and apparently you.

    Yes, those right-wingers are as likely to pass stupid laws or regulations when they are in power as left-wingers. But they are not in power.

    The trouble is that if the administration keeps going down this path they may be. Then it would be time to see what the other side is saying.

    The quality of the source is vital when judging the reliability of the information, yes.
