We need gadfly news sources like ZH. We need people who take a contrarian view.
The only people who shouldn’t be reading ZH are people who believe everything they read. Those people also shouldn’t be reading MSM.
- stusmall 8y agoJust because something has a contrarian view doesn't make its good. What use is a contrarian view if their bar for quality is that low? Something like WSJ makes sense as a counter balance to NYT, not some 3rd tier blog. The desire to see "both sides" causes people to lift up sources that are otherwise ignored for a reason. This isn't a justification for Facebook blocking them, but we sure don't need them either.
