When the reporting is fairly uniform across the board among legitimate news sources, on what basis do you decide otherwise? Alex Jones? Rush Limbaugh?
The reporting is fairly uniform fairly often. That's the problem. Journalism and, in particular - investigative journalism - is a lost art. So I try to examine opinions on both sides of the aisle with regularity. I don't always do it. I'm as flawed as the next man.
Absolutely. Zerohedge has some good articles. Just as Salon has good articles. You do know (maybe you don't) that ZH sometimes posts from "Tyler Durden" and sometimes posts from a variety of economic and political blogs and websites? I'd be a fool to discount ZH simply because some of their articles are completely lost in conspiracy, as others are very salient and knowledgeable. Particularly on the financial markets and the Fed. But that's the beauty of freedom. We can each plug our ears and pretend we don't hear or listen to whatever source we want. For example, I make it a personal goal to never read or give clicks to Infowars.
When reporting the facts, yes, the reporting tends to be uniform. What other side? What other aisle is there to legitimate reporting? Illegitimate reporting? Alternative facts? Find me a single source that describes the typical Trump voter as anything resembling informed. Go ahead, try it.
Ah yes, facts. If only everything being told to us was as easy as 2+2 = 4 and not "this anonymous source said this guy was going to commit this crime until another guy said..." So are you saying that if I find any source that talks about the Trump voter as informed OR the voters on the left as being idiots, or sheep, etc...you'll accept that? Of course you won't.
Yeah, really. At best, Zerohedge is a radical, far-right digital rag. And that's when we're being kind. And their pro-Russian bias makes for an interesting study, doesn't it? How radical far-right goes hand in hand with a pro-Russian bias? Meditate on that one. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zero_Hedge https://rationalwiki.org/wiki/Zero_Hedge
