But here's the thing: drawing the line between "conservatism" and "liberal" is arbitrary. Would you say that 100% of conservative beliefs are false and that 100% of liberal beliefs are true?

The whole point of my counterarguments is that we should always be critical of views and of people who claim to espouse them. The Democratic party is just as corrupt as the Republican party -- just look at the Chicago machine.

We're not talking about partisan preferences. We're talking about good and bad sources of journalism. News sources that use good journalistic practices (confirmation by second sources, publication of corrections, etc.) and that don't perpetuate debunked misinformation are preferable in my news feed over lower-quality "news" sources. If that penalizes certain partisan or ideological outlets, then tough.
