So you'll point out a single mistake of a leftist web site like Truthout yet completely miss the boat on a right-wing leaning web site like Politico? Yet you go on to claim that you don't think Politico and Truthout can be compared in terms of bias, despite your claim mere minutes before this statement that you couldn't even remember visiting Politico? And you wonder why people question your motives in every thread?
The fact that Politico (a web site I like btw) has two former Washington post editors doesn't absolve it from biases, just as you have continually pointed out with NY Times articles. Again, Truthout has clear left-wing biases, but your poorly researched/hashed together argument for why it's null and void when that exact same information can be found from direct sources (Cooper) in addition to other independent outfits (Time) makes your criticism moot; even far-left papers like the NY Times posts information that is highly accurate and well-researched, despite their well-known gaffes over the years.
Evan, you can not compare truthout to Politico.
Politico is a news organization that writes on a wide variety of politically oriented stories.
Truthout is a left wing propaganda site.
Politico may lead to the right, as you claim, but their entire existence is not built on bashing the left.
Truthout leans to the left and has its entire existence based on bashing the right.
Do you not understand this difference?
Furthermore, the problem is not the content he linked to, it is the very fact that he linked to Truthout in the first place.
Next time we have a debate about Hillary I?ll post a link to the FreeRepublic and we?ll see how long it takes before someone on the left jumps all over me for the link.
The mere fact that stoneburner thinks that Truthout is a site worth linking to exhibits his FAR left leaning. Most of the lefties on here would have known better than to post to a site like that.
