Washington post is off limits too. As are John Oliver segments, Vox, Slate, The Atlantic.
Now where do you take issue with project veritas? They’re actually out there performing investigative journalism.

James O’Keefe is a fully discredited grifter. Which is a shame because There’s a real need for muckraking and deep investigative journalism, neither of which he’s shown an aptitude for.

Fox News...
How did we get this far without mentioning them?

The experts they bring in aren’t specifically usually experts that qualify for what is in question.
For example, they are the type that tries to argue scientists don’t have a consensus on global warming because they brought some random engineer on the show once. “You see this one guy is an engineer so he knows science! And he doesn’t think global warming is real!”
Meanwhile, they have ignored 90+% actual CLIMATE scientists

Exclude anything on the far left and far right for certain.

It’s a moment for self-reflection when you can’t differentiate oped from hard news.

It is not unusual for a newspaper to endorse a candidate M1 and them liking one particular candidate doesn’t mean they practice bad journalism.

I wish people would focus more on the content that comes out of these places rather than disregarding an entire source on the basis: "THEY ARE BIASED!!!"
There has been actually solid investigative journalism that's come out of BuzzFeed news (separate branch of their web site) that has turned out to be accurate. This doesn't mean that I'm going to rely on them for my news but disregarding any source you don't like due your perceives political slant of them is the wrong approach.
Now you may be wondering what about Brietbart... Doesn't this logic apply to them? There are certain news sources you can almost never take seriously because they're too propped up in sharing propaganda and conspiracy theories as news with no factual basis whatsoever.
Chief
This is the right sentiment. I don’t mind buzzfeed news or reason or an investigative piece by xyz publication that is well sourced and leans right.
200% of the time that publication isn’t Fox News, Breitbart, or the Daily Wire. Share a credible “biased” right leaning source that does hard news and I’d be interested.
