Everyone has a political viewpoint, and it's hard to see anything wrong with writing articles consistent with that viewpoint.

The world would be a better place if they were dead. > Koch brothers are just people promoting a political agenda, like George Soros or any political party. Well I guess I should get rid of that shrine devoted to George Soros that I have then. Or what's your point? > Everyone has a political viewpoint, and it's hard to see anything wrong with writing articles consistent with that viewpoint. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Propaganda http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Propaganda
- yetanotherphd 13y agoYou haven't addressed the issue of relevancy. Let me put it another way: How much do we need to know about the journalist's views beyond the views that are expressed in the article? As far as I can tell, the article already reflects the author's ideology. So by reading the article you are not going to be mislead. The page you linked cited some instances of people promoting policies that would help the Koch brother's commercial interests. In that case the link is relevant. But if someone writes something right wing and you post "LOOK OUT EVERYONE THIS GUY IS A RIGHT WINGER", that does not add useful information.
