Not vouching for the linked article, but "fair and balanced" isn't a requirement to post here. Vox and Vice are both openly liberal publications that are regularly posted here. If you have specific disagreements, comment on them. Calling something a "nut-job shill publication" isn't productive.


I was making a joke about how it is a very conservative publication. "Fair and Balanced" was Fox News' motto for a long time.

Not that being conservative invalidates everything contained on the blog. But, you can find blogs who claim our government is controlled by shape-shifting lizard people on the internet, so a single article from a biased source isn't a strong argument and having an article titled: "The Democratic Party Is Working To Destroy The American Way Of Life" is pretty telling.


How about this: The source used is generally considered to warp the truth to suit its own narrative. Both Vox and Vice are widely considered fair, but tend to publish articles that would be of interest to there leftist audience. This source is not credible, more in line with Jacobin or Daily Kos.
