This isn't the first internet source or blog that you've quoted as a source of absolute and undeniable fact. Are we supposed to believe that any of these sources that you apparently rely on to form your opinions have a greater degree of resources invested in gathering facts, reporting and journalistic integrity than Newsweek?
I know you'll probably answer in the affirmative, but to favorably compare the journalistic professionalism of Wizbang to Newsweek or The New York Times seems a little counter-intuitive to me. At some point, it seems to me, we ought to be assessing the quality of the sources we quote to others...even if it's just a highly partisan political forum here in TOTV. Statements made by some of these sources are clearly no more than someone's opinion and not the product of gathering and cross-checking facts from multiple sources.

They are what they are..no pretentions...just opinions of other links.. If I have given the impression that they were "News Sources" I am sorry. There are tons of blogs and sites that I think are interesting.
On the other hand, newspapers and periodicals that claim to be "News sources" are intirely different. I find my links no different the
Huffington Post which the left link here all the time.
