I used to happily source and reference everything with the well established and highly credible publications like The New York Times and Washington Post. The last few years they have sunk their credibility with the animus against Trump. Retraction after editors note after hitpiece. They are fake news
Not to say that right publications are better. But that is the thing, they are now on par. When you read these articles it HAS to be with the understanding the publication you read has political bias that colours what you read. You are reading what is made to relate and reinforce its reader's beliefs.
Duchess you asked for instances I gave you 300 cited sources, which can be reference and your response is you don't like the source. Left leaning sources are not going to tell you inconvenient truths about the Left....and visa versa.
If you really just prefer to hear the views you want to hear spouted back at you then read publications that hold the views you like, but don't then either be surprised you haven't read anything contrary and don't ask for anyone to show you.
I read a variety and watch a variety. Its all biased but you take it with a bucket of salt and tease out truths and facts amoungst it and what is speculation, wishful thinking and blind hope.
