"Truth" someone said, most often has a decidedly "liberal" cast.
There persists a serious canard about the nature of USer "media," which is universally accused by the Fucktard Right of some kind of "liberal bias" when the radicals on the right want to demonize anyone who is willing to suggest that 'truth' doesn't always--or even usually) conform to the delusions springing from the painfully misshapen skulls of the Rightwing Fucktard militias, etc....
The "real truth" is that majority of the media (TV, radio, internet, print, movies, books, billboards, even ISPs) is owned by big corporations which strive endlessly, and loudly, to protect the radical conservative agenda of which they are the primary sponsors. The CorpoRat/SCUM "press" are the wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Rightard Oligarchs, Aristos, and Elites. Their reach is enormous, and their ties bind ever so tightly.
This article was produced simply as a counter-weight to the claim by the radical right wing that all media is liberal. From big news outlets to small time blogs, there are many dozens--probably HUNDREDS--of sites that you want to avoid when trying to get good news and information. This is a list--admittedly incomplete and in no particular order--of 50, or so of the worst--that is, the least reliably truthful, most evidently bullshit-filled--places you could go to get your news. These are sites at which you should exercise EXTREME caution and careful judgment before passing along ANY information they purvey.

* I could have spared the world the insult to intelligence that is Rod Dreher: he was a student in TWO classes I taught at LSU J-School, back in the day, and I could have flunked the drooling tool but to my continuing regret, I didn't.)

All those you listed have an audience, or they wouldn't exist.
Shoot the message, not the messenger(s).
Nah, there are a lot of "messengers" out there too willing to put their own message ahead of what is either fact, or rational, reasoned discourse.
Tell me that Sean Hannity, Billy O., Sean, Ann Coulter I play with my food before I eat it Mann and every other talking head at Fux aren't selling themselves via a skewed "message".
There are some messengers who need to be shot.
Furthermore, if the messengers weren't out there preaching their screed 24/7, most of their "audience" would revert silent passive aggression, as opposed to obnoxious
offensive ignorant bellicosity. OOIB. I may have just discovered a new condition.
