Just curious, Finn, is there any particular reason you feel this way? Or just a general dislike of their leftist take on things?

I don’t really dislike their Leftist take on things. As far as Left-wing sources go, it is a good one. But it is a Left-wing source, not an unbiased one. It will provide information that has a Left-wing slant, but it may not provide the whole story; and as such, it is unreliable. People seem to be taking offense at the comment, but it is purely an observation.




Oh, he's so full of manure, that man! We could lay him in the dirt and grow another one just like him.

No offence taken here.
I regard The Nation as a fire alarm of sorts. How big is the fire? Well, they treat every fire as big, so that's not why I read it (when I do), I use them as a pointer, then follow up with other sources.
Their conspiracy theories are cool, though
