Here's the problem: When a "source" is heavily biased, it cannot be trusted to present an accurate representation of all sides to a story.

That doesn't mean that it's lying. It may be presenting perfect, factual information all the way through the story. But it is ALSO avoiding and/or ignoring and/or downplaying critical parts of a story that don't match its agenda.

We see this across the media spectrum. We sure as hell see it on USMB.

Lying? No. Being intellectually dishonest by not telling the whole story? Of course. Whether it's Maddow or Hannity or Jones.

It seems like whenever the Leftists on here can not or will not debate you, they WILL resort to attacking the source. Pathetic. It's getting worse.
