Louder, for those in the back:
A lot of people are being played.

Occupy Democrats, Palmer Report, AlterNet, Wonkette, etc. They are the left equivalent of Newsmax, Fox News, OAN, Federalist et al. All are hyper-partisan outrage mills who misrepresent or exaggerate facts to gain page views which equals money.

Just because it matches with your political views doesn't mean it's accurate. Think for yourself, and dig deeper on your sources.

@voltronic That is not true. Those depictions consistently place Reuters and AP at the apex, but both of those sources are routinely to the right in their decisions about what to cover and how to cover it. Yes, think for yourself, but do NOT imagine that someone has a vested interest in fact-based coverage alone.

@Boyceaz @voltronic Reuters maybe but not the AP. Honest reporting covers both sides.

@DocLaing Honest reporting doesn’t unquestioningly accept biased framing. I catch AP doing that on the regular in their hourly news briefs in SiriusXM radio.

@Boyceaz

I don’t listen to that. Is it one reporter in particular, or more?
Is it his own opinion or are they quoting?

@DocLaing It’s multiple on-air news readers, but who knows who writes the copy. And it’s NOT opinion, it’s presented as pure fact-based reporting but within a biased framework. I’ll give you some examples as I listen tomorrow.
