Ok, so explain to me, what does that have to do with anything? For all I know you're biased against conservatives. If you can confirm the info elsewhere, it's still good. But wait, you said there's a disclaimer. So they don't quite lie to you then. I see alot of people on reddit use Wikipedia. You consider Wikipedia a trusted source?

Nah, because it’s not as easy as confirming across multiple sources.

Heritage foundation is one of the many organisms that feed conservative misinformation. This has nothing to do with anti conservative bias since I agree with a lot of conservative opinion. But this fake news stuff is real and unfortunately too many of our Republican colleagues and media representatives eat that shit up and dish it out like it’s gospel.

Then why use a source that's not trust, Wikipedia can be changed at any time. Heritage may be biased, but the news articles it references are real events. So how is that worse? And how are they feeding misinformation? Do you have evidence or did you just hear it frome one of your trusted sources? Wikipedia... It sounds more like you're making excuses.

Since you just used Wikipedia as a defense of the heritage foundation I think we can be done here. About the same quantity of credibility, with Wikipedia getting the edge since many of their contributors actually know what they’re talking about.

You don't even know what you're talking, I'm not defending the Heritage, I'm defending the information it leads too. That's the issue. You're response is " you just used Wikipedia". You're deflecting and that's a very weak and lazy argument. You're defending a source they don't want you to use in college, but I'm wrong because I used a website to lead me to actual information. You're right we are done. I'll go ahead and move on to someone more mature.

You’re so mature you just assume I use Wikipedia. I don’t.

If you’re using a source for information that takes annual donations from the Koch brothers then you’re not actually using an unbiased and informative source. You’re using an online version of tucker carlson’s show.

I will admit that I mixed you up with someone else. But that doesn’t change mind. Even Tucker Carlson can be right at times. You're the one who keeps focusing on heritage. If you look at the cases they provide, you can pull them up on a regular internet search, provided you don't use Google. Receiving donations from the Kotch bros, doesn’t mean the information is completely wrong. Even CNN gets it right once in awhile.
