What a snob. You are so above all this political stuff and so level headed. Ho build a statue of yourself and worship it.
Which “some” do you like more than others?
Yes, they don’t let Joe Hoft in.
That's an excellent question. And, it's one that I'd love to hear other people's opinions. I've never really tried to compile a Top 10 list. I just sort of take them ALL in, and weigh them based on past experience.
Before Trump came along, I would have said the Wall Street Journal was my "go to" for truth. But, they printed several "planted stories", important ones, that turned out to be 100% false. They were influenced by "Never-Trumpers" and lost much of my trust. But, I still put them near the top.
Generally, I think ABC and NBC report news that is generally accurate. Their bias is more of "omission" of stories, rather than false reporting. On the NEWS, not their 'news magazine' shows. They both do routinely add fake qualifiers... Like, "Trump falsely claims....". But, I ignore that crap.
As sites that I tend to believe more, I would include "The Hill", Fox News (not individual Fox hosts), The National Review, Daily Caller, CSpan, CNBC, Daily Telegraph.
There are other sites that I find provocative but often credible. Places like the Washington Times, Breitbart, Conservative Treehouse, New York Post. I read these, and I look for confirmation. But, more times than not they've been right.
I can't say that about Gateway Pundit. More times than not, I find they have been nothing more than clickbait. If they start being right more, I'll change my view. I have no special reason to dislike them. Usually, I LOVE what they report. But, I later find I can't trust that it is true.
I put a lot of stock in the reputation of certain reporters, even more than sites. I've never read anything proven false from Sharyl Attkinson or John Stossel. I like the opinions of Victor David Hansen.
I know I'm leaving out a bunch of reporters that I never think about until I see them, or their name. Richard Engel from NBC is a guy that I think does great reporting. There is a long list of reporters that I wouldn't trust the time of day if they told me. I'd have to really think about it, and start keeping a list to make a full list.
What does that make you? A Man of the People?
You have your views. I have mine. If you want to stake your reputation on reports from GP, you'll be thought a fool by a lot of people. But, that's YOUR choice.

They print articles from people on both sides. You have to decide for yourselves, over time, which reports you find to me more accurate.
FR is, and has ALWAYS BEEN, a site that presents what I would call 'raw news', quickly. It's a place to see sharp opinions. And, is as quick to be on REAL news as any place on the net. But, it's wise to read a number of the responses before running off to tell others.
Lots of "interesting news posts" get totally shot down withing 15-20 responses. As a community, we inform one another.
Valium...
Some might call you Tim, but I call you didactic.
Ok.. well, I learned a new word tonight.
Based on the definition I read, you’re probably correct.
I’m sorry. I didn’t think your question was rhetorical. It intrigued me. But, not you I guess.
