why does this outrage conservatives?

Where have I automatically denied your source Fred, how could I when you refuse to give one?

In the past, there have been huge discussions about sources... This one's good, not it's not, it's biased, no it's not, blah blah blah....

You post from the huffington post on a regular basis. I find most of those articles to be complete crap. It doesn't do any good for you to post the source, because I don't trust that source - but I know you do. There's not really any room to compromise there.

When you post something that you're claiming is factual and you use the huffington post as your source, I just figure there's no discussion to be had. If I disagree, I let you live in your delusions If I can find a fox news article that claims your fact isn't true, it wouldn't sway you in the least - becuase it's from "faux" news and you'd dismiss it without a single thought to the content.

Since articles that show up on HuffPo many come from any number of VERIFIABLE sources, UPI, AP, Bloomberg, New York Post, New York Times, I don't care if you continue to stick your head in the sand and ignore FACTS 'til hell freezes over. When it's COMMENTARY, I label it as such. (Unlike some on the Right that try to pass it off as factual information.) By the way, how'd that "factual" information on election night and the presidential polls work out for ya?

I figure if someone is too lazy, or too sure that their sources are crap doesn't wish to post a source, that says a lot about their confidence in the garbage they're posting.

I re-read my post, and would like to clarify that I don't trust fox new to be absolutely truthful either.

Huffo is a liberal filter. It's most decidedly slanted and will not contain articles that don't support the liberal agenda, regardless of the source.

I don't consider something a FACT unless it's verified in several sources. You can bury your head in the Huffpo all you want and ignore conflicting points of view if you'd like, but I prefer to avoid filters like Huffpo, and get my news from actual press releases and unfiltered direct quotes.

FACTS are FACTS... And then there's FauxNews, RedState, WorldNutDaily, ..... Right-wing COMMENTARY is not FACTS.

Huffpo filters the facts and presents them in a way that pleases the liberals, just as Fox news does for the conservatives.

And I'll keep posting LINKS to my SOURCES, while some people on the right continue to refuse to do so because they are either too lazy, or too sure that their sources are crap and don't wish to post a source, which says a lot about their confidence in the garbage they're posting.

I'm guessing that it means that you've attacked the sources in the past and dismissed the entire post due to your personal opinion of the source rather than the content of the post.

Kinda like I do when you post something from Huffpo.

At least we give you and other righties the courtesy of citing the source and giving a link, then you can make your own decision on its veracity. That is all I asked for from Fred....the courtesy of a link so I can read the original source and make my own judgment.
