  1. Conservatives censored (or subjected to hostile interviews) by Fox News include Newt Gingrich (after Fox News decided to back Mitt Romney), Ron Paul, Pat Buchanan, Tom Pauken, Rev. Tom Euteneuer, Michael Steele, J.D. Hayworth, Steve Lonegan and Tom Coburn; Sharron Angle was rarely on Fox News, far less than John McCain was, even though Angle's race was far more important than McCain's.
  2. "Factual accuracy," per Conservapedia's Manual of Style: "The party affiliation of a news source should be irrelevant. All that matters is whether the source has a record of telling the truth."
Rank Information Source Comments
1 GatewayPundit Tremendous writing, with a rapier wit, and the national leader in breaking honest news on big stories like the events in Ferguson, Missouri
2 Cybercast News uniquely informative news across all issues, including social ones; a top-quality news site in every respect
3 Patriot Update Founded in 2009, Patriot Update is a leading conservative news source for the everyday American.

17 Christian Science Monitor refreshing in its lack of lamestream media liberal bias
18 USA Today better than the lamestream media in its reporting on state-by-state news, and its greater balance; but it has been very feminist and one-sided in its reporting on Title IX in college sports; also may be more anti-Catholic than other liberal sources

20 Financial Times more conservative than the Wall Street Journal
