What is your name? Do you know what day it is? How many fingers am I holding up?
Jesus Christ lol! I asked you about Jack Nicholas, eventually you gave me a link to this thread which helped me understand that governor shit head wanted him to be the exclusive designer of the freaking golf courses. On that same page you made the comment regarding WND. Don't be waffling like slick willy
.
WND, I don't know about 'conspiracy' oriented, but they are about as slanted to the right as you can get without tipping over.. They use sources that are just as, if not more, slanted than they are..
I explained before.. it's not just the 'source' when it comes to linking a story.. Just because I write a post, and link it to a blog that you don't know is mine, doesn't mean what I wrote is sourced and factual.. so, the more 'fantastical' the story, the better "real media' it needs behind it.. and yes, AP,CBS,NBC,Reuters,BBC,ABC and at the lowest level Fox, are included in that 'real media'..
now that doesn't mean there aren't other sites out there.. Firedoglake.com/Politico.com/Slate/Huffpo/MotherJones... etc that aren't just as good as the big guys... it just means that you have to 'source' those stories a little more than you would if you got it from the BBC or something..
example.. in another 'birther' article WND used a source to prove Obama wasn't born here.. that source turned out to be a white supremacists who has a white supremacist radio program..
now, you tell me.. just based on that descriptor... is that story more or less believable? They used a source, so they can back up what they printed right? so? are we to believe the article that Obama wasn't born here or not?
when a media outlet repeated uses those kinds of 'sources' for their stories.. they fall wayyyyy down on the list of 'acceptable media'.. It's like James O'keefe, I don't know how any person out there can say they believe a word he says.. of course many do because he's saying what they want and think, but that doesn't make him believable in the least..
it's about paying attention to the details.. and no one really wants to do that anymore.. you've just happened to stumble upon a group of snobs who do pay attention that's all..
HTH.
