I hear you, and I'm not saying they're the Daily World News or anything. I love Mediamatters...but they specifically say in their about page, linked above, that they exist to excise conservative bias from news stories. I think that inherently gives them a bias. I just wish they would hammer everyone.
edit : In addition, I didn't make the comment concerning the validity, per say, of the sources...only that it seemed that
host might be implying that
stevo's argument was a little weaker because his sources are biased. Fact is, mediamatters is biased too. If you read through my posts on this subject, you'll find I generally agree with host's position.
