Yes, what I found was that Ron this list is comprised of almost entirely of wikileaks as the source. Also that all the emblems on the picture depict sources that are considered 'liberal' by Americas radical conservatives.
Is wikileaks not a good source?
What is a radical conservative?

I think since news stopped being a public service and became a profit center, the MSM started to sell stories with headlines and stoke controversy over non issues. Opinion news centers like MSNBC and Fox evolved where the could promise advertisers a loyal audience since they stroked their audiences worldviews...predictable demographics means cash.
All of that is different than actually inventing facts and sources like writing fiction.
One spins..the other begins with a lie. They both suck...but one sucks a whole lot more and in signifIcant and relevant ways. Spin vs. invented stories. Bias vs fake news. Obama's policies suck vs. Obama runs pedophilia ring.
You can make a choice not to care as long as the stories appeal to your confirmation bias...but the brain is plastic and it is a dangerous thing to do routinely to your brain. Best to just call BS when you see it whoever is selling ....thinking objectively is good.

They also "coluded with Trump"...such is the nature of journalism, confirming stories, soliciting facts etc.
You seem to be selling BS... to propagandize you must first "remove the referee"..the other fallacy being sold is "false equivalance"...
All so the right wing can feel better about believing the lies they want to believe.

This is incorrect

Who is selling B.S.?
I agree with the suggestions, Faux News, USA Today,... he should add a continuation of it. Or even someone else adding on more and a reference.

Yeah, I was replying to Indigo earlier.
And I'd assume that reply is in part to mine so: Can you point out there I said that there was no collusion with Trump? I don't believe that nor do I recall making that reply.

Yes, I missed your post and my comment was only in response to Indigo5's collusion comment. Sorry for the confusion. Forgive me for misleading anyone that you were the one talking about media collusion with Trump.

What follows is certified opinion:
For those comparing "Faux News" running stories you disagree with or think are poorly sourced or just THINK are politically spun, I'd like to remind you that there is quite a big difference between that and what's being represented on this list going around. These news personalities and agencies have bee CONFIRMED to have colluded with the DNC and/or Clinton's campaign and CONFIRMED to have spun stories for them.
