You think CNN is 100% honest and credible? The same could be said of liberals or any arbitrary group of people.

I don’t think that was the point.

The point is that even credible sources are going to be voted down as “idealogically biased“ no matter how neutral the story is.

Headline says candidate Johnson lost by 15%? Better vote it down. After all, you hate candidate Johnson. Doesn’t matter if he actually lost.

That's true but that seems like the easiest issue to deal with, considering how much information you have about user's political preferences if you're Facebook.
Yeah, I think "I can turn my brain off and just trust anything this source says" is probably the wrong approach to news.
No they are just incompetent and pointless. The Kardashians of news
