I agree that there is a problem with pseudo news and other blatantly biased sites, but I dont see a solution...other than taking the time to refute each false or misleading quote from such soures....even if the poster attempts to divert the discussion by changing the focus to an "attack on the source" and refuses to acknowledge any counter (and substantiated and documented) facts from less biased sources.
The members of TFP are intelligent enough, even if we're not all (including me) at the genius IQ level, to evaluate a discussion and supporting links on both sides of a discussion and decide for themselves.
I wish it were easier to deal with misinformation or blatantly false information that some TFP users will perpetuate from less than credible and/or biased sources with an obvious political agenda, but a list of banned sites will only further the divide within TFP.
