Interesting how deep the "fake news" rabbit hole goes.
Just goes to show how you should never take anything you see on social media (including here on RP) at face value. Always check sources or be prepared to look the fool.

You mean like the left leaning BBC sourcing some obscure website that few people have ever heard of?

You're absolutely right. Journalism and science are both suspect because of politics and greed.

CPT Jared Speaks - Granted, having said that science has a good mechanism built in to detect such bias. It not perfect but I'd point out the place we mostly hear criticisms against scientific studies are those same media outlets you just complained about.
The problem with science isn't its self correcting mechanisms, its people understanding it well enough to discern valid information from pseudoscience. Sure it isn't perfect but the scientific method is a formal mechanism to come to conclusions based on the best information available and change those conclusions as new contradictory information is discovered. perhaps not perfect but likely as good as we can do without being omniscient.

This conservative doesn't trust the news media.
I did not qualify that statement, so don't assert that I did.

Far-right is not involved. Libertarians are far-right. Nazi wantabes are far-left.

Both are on the right side of the political spectrum but with important differences.

Your graphics proves my point. Extreme far right political ideology favors no Gov't, not an authoritarian gov't. Attached is another view of the Left-Right spectrum. Nazi wantabes and Fascist are nationalist, but more importantly they are socialist. AntiFa groups are communists. These groups are leftist.

This looks more and more like war with every passing day. Here's more evidence: Isn't truth always the first casualty?
