And, I read Mother Jones, Salon and a few others on the left, along with The National Review, WSJ, Washington Post, New York Times and others from the middle to the right. I'm aware of their leanings, but I read the articles and make a determination about the validity of the events they are reporting. It makes it even easier when there's a video clip of the event they are reporting on, which you seem to be too busy to watch, or just not curious enough to further investigate. And, why would I put a video taped event in my own words. How would that establish the truth or falsehood of the event. I view FOX News as having a view of the world from a conservative view point. I value that, and never criticize someone for referencing a FOX News story as long as the article is factual. And, I will point out when I think they've blown it. But, I never treat what they report as being invalid, just because they're viewed as being right wing biased. I would consider that to be very lazy thinking.
Though in a fairness he's been pretty busy with setting a record in issuing subpoenas; more that the previous 3 people. who held that post, combined.

He's a regular Joe McCarthy in clown shoes.
Most people know that HuffPo is the Left. I don't have time to single-handedly refute every work of Liberalism on the Internet. Put it in your own words, man. Then we will discuss it.

... it is bad enough we have convicted felons among our elected Representatives and Senators, but it is far more odious and irritating to see just how ignorant some of our elected officials really are.
I'm not talking about the obvious clowns in their Tea Party tin hats, I mean these elected officials with fancy Ivy League degrees who simply DO NOT KNOW THE CONSTITUTION AT ALL.
It should be mandatory that anyone who wants to become a US Senator or sit in the House of Representatives should have the ability to display at least a rudimentary knowledge of the Bill of Rights.
Who the fuck picks these lunatics to run for office anyway? RP McMurphy
I think it is also safe to say you can't easily govern an "educated populace".
It regularly frightens me how clueless the average person is to the Bill of Rights in our Constitution. it is no wonder why our current elected leaders are so vapid to it's content and meaning.
