ORIGINAL: luckydawg Wow Source Watch seems like a very credible non partisan site. I mean an article with 6 sources (5 of which are left wing Blogs) and 3 external links to Media Matters and Huffington Post...... I guess since it is on the Net it must be true. And if anyone wants a laugh, take a look at how "Source Watch" handles Dan Rather......http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php?title=Dan_Rather They ignore that Rathers Lawsuit was dismissed, and imply there really is a question....No bias there at all. You seem to have as much trouble counting as you do figuring out how to use that ever-perplexing quote feature. So, I will assume this is in response to me, despite your difficulties at mastering such a complex process. Here are the sources: "Changes To FNC's DC Bureau," TV Newser, August 5, 2008. "Stirewalt will be missed", Change West Virginia blog, October 18, 2007. "MKH Relocation Efforts Underway", Mary Katherine Ham's blog, Townhall.com, May 23, 2008. "Exodus from the Examiner?" Robert Stacy McCain, The Other McCain, September 24, 2008. "Teaming Up With the Washington Examiner," NewsBusters, October 29, 2008. "Byron York joins Examiner as chief political correspondent," Washington Examiner, February 3, 2009. Let's take them one by one. TVNewser focuses on what is going on in the media as an industry. It is not partisan one way or the other. It is not a political site and it is well-respected by those within the business. Change West Virginia I have not been able to find information on. Townhall.com by its very name should have clued you into the fact it is a teabagger site, though I know the obvious tends to elude you. The Other McCain is also a far right blog, which you would have found easily by clicking on the link. But I guess it's too much work, better to just make something up. Saying Newsbusters is a left wing blog not only demonstrates your woeful lack of knowledge, but your complete unwillingness to verify anything you say before you say it. Lastly, we have the Examiner itself, which is the one I assume you meant is not a left wing blog. So, what we have is an article referenced from four conservative sources, one that is clearly non-partisan, and one that little is known about. As far as the external links, you lied outright by claiming all three were from Media Matters and Huffington. You conveniently ignored the Forbes link which agreed that the Examiner was a conservative paper. More to the point, you did not make even the most cursory attempt to dispute one fact presented in the SourceWatch article or the external links, preferring instead to try to change the topic to Dan Rather.
