Case in point:

When someone posts something from the conservative sites like Worldnetdaily, or from a conservative commentor, there is a RUSH to say,

"Well, look at the news source! That's BIASED!"

Meaning of course, that none of the facts have to be addressed.

But when an equally biased site, this time to the left, gets posted, at least Mojo_PeiPei is addressing what was said and not who delivered it.

I am not busting chops, but I am pointing out something that I have noticed happening FAR too often.

Edited to add:

Least I be charged with the crime of making this up:
