I like your reply and it gave me an idea.
Would you be willing to build a list of all the MSM outlets (U.S. and foreign based) with a description of their political orientation?
We could use as well /s/fakenews that could serve as a place to call out biased articles.
That wouldn't be a reliable list for anyone but myself. I have no right to tell anyone what sources are "worthy" of trust. Maybe you could, as I just noticed another post of yours that you felt needed to be archived instead of directly linked (https://poal.co/s/Politics/22267). I realise there may a very good reason why other than not wanting to give views to them. As I said, it's up to each of us to vet our own sources and who we allow to influence our views. Isn't that pretty much the basis of Free Speech that we value?

I know. What I asked wasn't to classify MSM as trustworthy or not, but more like a list where you could easily see what side of the political spectrum they are leaning towards.
A post per news outlet (with a description) to give the ability for people the weigh the pros/cons, and discuss wether or not they should be trusted.
...give the ability for people the weigh the pros/cons, and discuss wether or not they should be trusted.
But that's exactly what I'm trying to say. Each issue should be weighed and discussed. That's why sites such as this are important. People should be free to post anything (with legal concerns noted) and openly discussed per issue. I personally wouldn't give any credence to such a list composed by anyone. To illustrate, this whole discussion started by me simply stating 2 facts about RT. So far, I have seen no one disputing them, and now we are discussing Free Speech, censorship, and who might be an authority to declare such matters. I alone have the right to decide for myself what I'll allow to influence my opinions and views and that should apply to each of us.
