About the upcoming transition to general election season

[Jim Lane]

67. It's not logical to lump together all right-wing sources.

If there's a story that reports that an anonymous Federal Reserve official said thus-and-such about the economy, my inclination is: If the story is in the Wall Street Journal, then some Fed official probably did say it, though I'm aware that such statements are more likely to be reported there if they serve a right-wing agenda. If the story is on World Net Daily, I have zero confidence in any aspect of the reporting.

It also depends on what is reported. If in October the Wall Street Journal gives some third-quarter economic statistics, that's very reliable, editorial bias or no.

Furthermore, not every post quoting a right-wing outlet is "sourced to" that outlet. Even WND could reasonably be quoted if the context is "here's the latest wing-nut talking point that we need to be ready to answer."
