It is a problem and in my opinion brought on by lazy folks who only want validation of their own views.

READ....VALIDATE and ignore those sites that are taking advantage of laziness. You can, IF YOU WANT TO, verigy and validate all that is on the news, but you have to WANT TO

Read some of the sites used to substantiate a post, although that in itself is rare, bit when done......they are far, on this forum, and extreme websites and well known for that.

Our President validates this behavior by attacking the legitimate news people and tweeting quoting far right wing extremist groups.
