    A.) What was Dick's question

    B.) Having read the fact check, are you confident this isn't a radical journal?

    I'm curious too about the experts they quoted. Did they talk to any other experts? If so, what did they say? If not, how did you select which experts to talk to?

    TL;DR version - YF thinks the media sucks because it doesn't agree with his preconceived notions.

    Shouldn't be hard. Just look for all the winners who're making all the deals.

    Having read the WaPo's fact check, are you convinced the journal isn't radical?

    It appears to be no more radical than Breitbart.

    The answer to A was in my post. Even you aren't that careless, are you?

    I notice you refuse to answer the actual charge in my posts, that your real issue with the piece is it defends something you don't like and that your standard for journalism shifts dramatically depending on whether or not you like the subject of the story.

    And how would one prove a piece like that to be wrong?

    OK. Let's say this is true.

    Should we expect a WaPo fact check, defending Breitbart against Hillary's portrayal of it yesterday?

    Find factual errors. Find other sources that discredit or refute claims in the piece. Those are just a couple of examples.

    If they had done just that, you'd be defending the piece.
