Either they took the $$$$, in opposition to their stated outlook/preaching, or they did not.
What has the "leanings" of any reporters got to do with it?

@AnneWimsey (from the above link) "We also rate them Mixed for factual reporting due to a couple failed fact check as well as the use of misleading headlines that do entirely match the story."

How do you suggest (by what criteria) anyone judge "fake news" vs. credible sources ?

@FearlessFly I do not automatically assume that suspect sources are wrong....even a blind squirrel finds a nut sometime.....

@AnneWimsey . . . also I do not automatically assume that suspect sources are wrong, but if they are unfamiliar I usually check-em-out.

With so many varied media and credible sources to choose from, I think it wise to be wary and vigilant.
