Our resident fascist-racist and his buddies in this forum discount relevant facts and reports, unless they have been reported by a right wing publication. And the left tends to do the same.
Both sides at times choose to forget it's the fact that matters, not which publication brought it to the public eye.
Among the many bullshit stories put forth by rightist outlets like FOX News, or Breitbart, Rush Limbaugh, etc., there are a few truths. Ditto for Daily KOS, MSNBC, Salon, etc. Often a simple Google search turns up enough corroborating stories to make the story credible.
My point, again, is that credibility of a story should not be judged by the source of media that brought it forward.
If you know a strong left wing or right wing publication announces a powerful news story, we should do the research to ascertain whether the story is real or not. And if that can't be done quickly, then forum members should point out the story that's being presented cannot be corroborated at that time.
It's getting more and more difficult to tell if a new report or story is real. But the effort to find out the truth is always worth the trouble.
