Some of the articles that get linked here, or to reddit are really poor. Yes the sentiment may be 100% correct, but the way it's presented and 'backed up'[sic] are horrible. It really does very little to spread the ideas that the writer/site holds.
Been thinking about this - the "quality" of the article, or the media source is debatable in all cases. Posting an article does not mean one agrees, disagrees, or has any opinion whatsoever about it. The diversity of sources is beneficial imo and let the reader determine what suits their taste, or confirms their own bias. Posting outside of one's own ideas about what's right, wrong, accurate, or not is a way to lessen the effect of confirmation bias and makes this site more interesting, again imo. Let the discussion assist readers in their own search for "truth" whatever the heck that is.
