we used to have a rule about right wing sources
but apparently we don't anymore. Any thought to bringing it back?

1. Who's been using RW sources?
I would think that would be avoided without having formal rules...

5. The Edwards house report was DRUDGE
And it wouldn't be a bad idea to ignore that conduit for RW mudslinging

10. In recent days
we have seen an article from the Washington Times smearing Obama and blaming Hillary, the Drudge report about Edward's house, and now a Novak article about Emmanuel.

4. You couldn't source your story with a RW (biased)
news source. Drudge, Madsen, Free Republic, etc...
You had to have a mainstream source. Anything else was locked.

3. I remember that
Drudge was off-limits.
Madsen Report was off-limits.
I don't remember some of the others...but those two definitely were.

8. Madsen's not right wing
but he does seem tinfoil-ish.
