Fuzzy bears!
Well, that is kind of my point. I have, on several occasions, related reports from Blast News, and they have been soundly rejected as "unreliable" simply because they have not been confirmed by "traditional media". It wasn't anyh ideological slant that was being accused. It was simply, something to the effect of, "Well, no one else is talking about this, so it didn't happen,"“…then just what is considered a reliable source?”
Better question: what constitutes an unreliable source – can there ever be consensus that a given source is consistently unreliable, be designated as such, and discounted accordingly.
I have a problem with that...
In a time where it's hard to trust any particular source, it makes sense to look for a consensus from multiple sources, particularly if they don't share any sort of ideological bent.
On the other hand, there are sometimes sources which a person might assume are giving false information. Whether Blast News might be such a source I have no idea, as I don't know what it is.
