The Big Slice: The 50 Worst Places To Get Your News And Information

[OmahaBlueDog]

So how’s your summer going? If you have been listening to the news cycle, you would think it was alot closer to Halloween, perhaps hoping against hope for April Fool’s or War of The Worlds. But no. The scary talk just keeps coming. Benghazi, drones, the IRS, Snowden, and NSA, are being name dropped more often then Kanye mentions Kim.

The creepiest part is the glee with which Fox and Friends spews their balanced fare. Be afraid. Be very afraid. Each Rovian sculpted phrase is ripped off the word-of-the-day faked white papers popping out of Crossroads and broadcast with extra drooly zeal. While there are liberal talk shows and blogs aplenty, the conservative claim that the entire media has a bias favoring liberals is just another piece of misinformation from their exclusive line of facts.

See this and the list at: http://thebigslice.org/the-50-worst-places-to-get-your-news-and-information/

5. The only one in the list I kind of disagree with is Reason Magazine.

They are libertarian capitalists or something like that. It's pretty horrible stuff, I'm not with them or whatever.

But there are some issues where I do agree with them and they do pretty good coverage. That includes civil liberties issues, police state, government mass surveillance, and the war on drugs.

They are completely wrong on most other issues, especially economic issues. But I doubt they belong in the 50 worst news sources list.

Everyone can judge for themselves

Dunno, I could be wrong.

6. we pretty much know just about every name on that list, still, handy to have it in one neat

little package.

7. K & R

8. And that is not all of them. Just the worst of the more well known ones.

How many news sources are straight up or slanted to the Left? I bet the list is much, much shorter.

The fingers on one hand would probably suffice.

9. They forgot 'Investor's Business Daily'

Makes the WSJ op-ed page look like Mother Jones, and that's the "reporting" ( non op-ed ) part. Fanatically anti-working class. Saw it for the first time a few years ago while visiting my very conservative father, who has become an absolute RW loon after Barack Obama got elected. All his RW friends read it too: They carry around the damned things everywhere they go.

10. Every time I watch fox news

Which is almost like "switch over to see what the other side is saying" I find myself talking to myself LOL

Example:

Any fox talking head quoting President Obama .........

Me: THAT IS NOT WHAT THE PRESIDENT SAID????

11. The site which must not be named just made the list (49) yet.....

Free Republic didn't make the cut.

That's gotta sting, Rimjob.
