“I’m sure some will not even bother to read the full post.”

Sounds like a good way to remain ignorant ... I guess we conservatives sometimes aren’t as hot as we’d like to think we are.

So if you saw a story reported solely by Al Jazeera, you'd believe it?

Talk about ignorant.

Don't be so touchy. Al Jazeera has a horrible track record when it comes to reliability. All the other posters are asking for is sources with at least a LITTLE more stature.

I guess you don’t understand how unreliable Al Jazeera is and how much disrespect it deserves. I’ll grant you, that when it reports something which is actually good news for the U.S., then it lends some credence.

If you don’t “weight” your sources, then you are not being very discriminating. Most people on Free Republic do pay attention to sources. Most of us don’t have time to click on all the links. I tend to skip news stories posted from generally unreliable sources.

Do you consider Al Jazeera reliable?
