→Proposal:Reputable sources
:::This idea and list sounds good, although we might want to differentiate or outright avoid publications which are focused on correcting/rebutting other news reporting. A list of this sort seems like it should be news reporting, not news correcting. I would classify HumanEvents, and maybe NewsMax and even Breitbart as the latter. That's not to say that those are bad services, or that there is not a place for them. However, we are essentially saying "instead of reading these fake news sources, read these other news sources." It seems that our listed alternatives should be primary news sources, not secondary. --[[User:DavidB4|<font color="ForestGreen">DavidB4</font>]] <sup>([[User talk:DavidB4|TALK]])</sup> 23:48, 25 June 2019 (EDT)

::::I don't know about the other two sources, but Breitbart ''does'' do news ''reporting'', rather than just ''correcting''. For example, they've broken several important news stories about Big Tech bias this year alone, and in the past few years they've broken several stories documenting deep state bias, such as the State Department. Breitbart is more than just arguing against MSM bias.
::::Also, I think Andy is right to question the Daily Caller -- it's increasingly liberal on immigration. For example, it published [https://dailycaller.com/2019/06/25/weinberg-bolton-miller/ this op-ed] that argues against the administration's planned deportations (of illegals already ordered to be deported), and a few months ago, I saw an article criticizing a HUD proposal to combat illegal migrants illegally using government housing. --[[User:1990'sguy|1990'sguy]] ([[User talk:1990'sguy|talk]]) 23:55, 25 June 2019 (EDT)
