    Conservatives and deeply questionable sources; is there any more iconic combination?

    To quote the most famous questionable source: “Fake news.”

    A substack written by one person, and an unverified claim reported in a second questionable source is not solid evidence. It’s not even shaky evidence, because it’s not evidence.

        My dude, you don’t have to post it. There are a ton of good sources sources that lean solidly conservative. The Calgary Sun, The Wall St. Journal, National Review, Christian Science Monitor… Post trash that has no basis in fact looks every bit as frothing-at-the-mouth unhinged as it does when people on .ml post garbage from The Mint Press.

        For fucks sake, learn some media literacy.
