I have received a few complaints over the past few years about the websites I use and link to when gathering and posting news stories here. Usually the same complaints, but I try. I'll start anywhere literally and work my way around. And if an unknown I will often try doing other searches to see if I can verify a story or quote.

You can have anything from Yahoo.com to beelzebopdooodooodeeeday.com - and makes ZERO different to me at the end of the day. I simply want the news delivered to me in a timely fashion. I want the media to be quick and gather all the facts they can and present it. I want the facts verified when possible. I can deal with rhetoric so long as any leaning isn't lying. Same goes for any link and any site and any author. Presented should be all of the facts. Any and all of the story and omitting nothing. I need the politics that we wouldn't otherwise know about, or even daily mundane crap. But it's gotta be more than an opinion, I need the guts, the truth and the facts that cannot be disputed - and I note it has not happened yet.

It can be from CNN nonstop, so long as it's factual and not lying about the politics and/or making a habit of censoring or omitting things. It can be from cuckoonutters like Alex Jones, don't care, so long as it's got the facts and I can usually verify when possible. Hell, it can be a direct written article from Nancy Pelosi or Adam Schiff, offering the facts of something that took place - so long as it's the facts and not lies.

I think you get my point, I don't care much about the link/site so long as I'm getting more and more facts daily. But if they make a habit of outright lying about things, they will lose my business. And if an article I am reading has BS in it, I won't post it.

Anyway, but also noticed over the years that the few folks who have complained about the sources I may post from - are from folks that very rarely will post an article themselves & will rarely - as in never - take me up on any financial offers to simply find the lies in what I posted. I've offered to put the money up front with a person of their choosing. So odd that if lies were so apparent, why not take the easy money?

** And it must be more visited than CNN, Yahoo, Drudge or even Google. - I am told that all of us conservatives here visit "Gatewaypundit" on the daily and therefore makes zero sense of me to post articles from them?

For starters - just how many people visit their daily?

And even if as they say - wouldn't it not still be worthy of discussion or debate if it's good content? Hell, I still even post from CNN sometimes, as even they post something worthy here and there.

And here is a literal copy, in order, of all the "political bookmarks" I have in my browser. My daily homepage is still crappy Yahoo and usually where I start with my stories for the day. They are another that gather from everywhere and put them on their home page. Similar to Drudgereport except that Drudge has much more political content on it. My links are obviously leaning majorly to the right, but I visit my share of leftie sites and try to do some due diligence if I have to verify something.
