" I suppose from a purely hypothetical standpoint it would be fair to disclose the fact one is paid...." I agree. Just like I think that pre-prepared news items provided by the administration or anyone else should also be required to disclose, IMO. Which facts one presents are based on one's bias. Just because a presentation is based on facts doesn't mean that it is not biased.

"facts are facts and wstera was posting factual information" I challenge this statement. Most of what he posted were articles that were one sided to establish his point. Maybe you can list which of his statements you regard as factual. It is much more likely that because you share his personal bias you accept as "facts" that propaganda that supports your side of the story. You may say it is fact that there is overall liberal bias in the MSM. I have shown that the studies done largely all share the same flawed methodology. That is also a fact. There is built into that methodology a bias toward the conclusion that the MSM is liberal. That is also a fact. You guys like to assert that your side deals in facts and the liberal side doesn't, but just saying it doesn't make it so. Actually the pretense that the right uses facts and the left doesn't is total BS. Only someone who is blinded by bias would assert such a thing. Righty definition of a "fact": anything that supports the righty side of the story. LOL!!!!
