You report biased twisted news.


Facts that you don't like don't cease to be facts, do you have any source that contradicts what the news is claiming the FBI has said? Do you have any source that contradicts what the FBI is claiming?

The fbi hasn’t said anything an Anonymous source for the site the nation did.
Would you believe an anonymous source from conservative news site?


Only if it doesn't have a long history of lying, so almost certainly not because an honest conservative media outlet is an oxymoron. You often try to reduce many issues down to binary liberal versus conservative when it doesn't really apply. Forbes and Business Insider aren't 'liberal' sources so to act like their mirror opposite are right-wing propaganda blogs is just silly. I wouldn't trust Stormfront or Alex Jones or OAN or Ben Shapiro or whatever because they're not credible, not specifically because they're conservative. I'd be more open to something like The National Review, while their opinion stuff is often disagreeable they're not a propaganda mill like the vast majority of conservative media appears to be.

But further, your assessment doesn't appear accurate based on what's been provided so far.


All the liberal news sources have long history of lying


Who mentioned 'liberal news sources'? We were discussing mainstream news sources like Forbes and Business Insider. Just because reichwingers buy into the 'wahh liberal media bias' meme doesn't mean it's true or that people outside of your bubble will fall for it.

The nation isn’t Forbes . Also Forbes lies a lot when it comes to guns it’s likely they lie about other things.

Your disagreements with them on the topic of guns doesn't make them inherently liberal and for whatever issues with honesty exist within the mainstream media (and they do) by and large mainstream media rarely sinks to the same levels of dishonesty as the right-wing blogosphere, that's why I'm skeptical but willing to consider mainstream media's reporting and generally won't waste my time reading the guano generated by propaganda mills.

Anyways, I'm out for the night. I've been running on 3-5 hours sleep a night for the past 7-8 days.
