they provided no information on the sources for their numbers

Did CNN and NBC?

and the numbers did not compare with other studies.

What other studies?

Do you have any legitimate sources that have not been linked to the CIA?

Yes, but they'd probably have to kill you if I told you.

Your faith in the bullshit you believe is sustained by questionable sources.

Doesn't that make you wonder just a little bit...

Funny how one says that so often on Saidit, without a smidgen of a suggestion as to which news sources they regard most reliable. I tend to consult the sources at the top of this media bias chart. I know many on Saidit liks those insane sources on the bottom right side.

Why do you trust that chart? It has AP in the middle.

I tend to read those sources. I don't have to trust them. AP is traditionally less biased tham many of the others, albeit pro-Israel in my view. All fo them have baises. Which is the least biased in your opinion?

Which is the least biased in your opinion?

I don't have a trusted news source. That's a sucker's game.

You don't have to trust them. You get your news from sources that you'd like to believe.
