A newspaper, even one with a bias (as they all have), is still a more objective source than an avowedly conservative-libertarian think tank that fires people for having a different view on an issue.

Source A) I looked up the real cost decline of airfare over two decades, correlated it to infatuation, tracked the entire industry through multiple bankruptcies and re-capitalization stages. The numbers show that airfare has decreased by half over the last two years.

Source B) Airfare is now more expensive then it ever has been!

Both of these statements were literally published. The first was published by AEI. The second by the Denver Post. One was objectively true. It was not the Denver Post.

There is a reason anyone who follows aviation rolls their eyes before reading any newspaper ever on the airline business.
