I went to the website for that "Students ban pledge of allegiance" story and there were all sorts of crazy links on there about anti-hillary clinton bobbleheads and editorials supporting ann coulter's latest book, as well as lots of ads for bogus things like diet patches and "sneaky ways to get paid" months worth of money in a few minutes.
Shouldn't the news links this site puts up be to neutral, credible news sources?

yes its true, but people who give themselves off as real news sources should at least try to keep the bias to a minimum... but maybe it would be better if i changed what i said to "credible and professional"? |

Yeah but as you know Amp, I am an advocate for at least using major news sources such as the AP. Also, before they put a link up there it would be nice if the Intern Army would be so kind as to check themselves. But I am going to reserve a lecture that would likely get me suspended again until a few more things crop up, I've already got a list going.
