    Super common thing I’m seeing recently among cons, complete dismissal of any article not from the right sources. You see how this makes you much easier to manipulate right? Read everything.

    • Read everything, but the moment it’s a commentary piece or there’s extremely unchecked bias, give it a toss and don’t recommend it to others you want to convince.

      We don’t need fluff pieces, or people like this author claiming the speaker was making sex jokes about the “weeks on her knees” comment (still weird she wasn’t there, but it definitely didn’t sound sexual) when we have all the evidence and spin on those stories needed with the direct context.

      If somebody posted OAN news, I’d say it’s trash and you shouldn’t get your news from there, Salon isn’t as bad but its definitely not good journalism.
