63. Newsmax not a good source -

in fact, I've often wondered why admin doesn't use a filter to replace such links with a URL that explains why posting news from a right wing site is not a good idea. Most of us know about Newsmax, but I'm sure there are newbies logging on every day who do not have the same political conciousness that we do. Even if the story you are posting is relatively harmless, right wing propaganda is not harmless, and Newsmax is steeped in it.

Tip - any time you want to find an alternate source, just go to Google News (not regular Google) and search on the headline.
