People here make a goddam career out of totally discarding any information they see as coming from a "tainted" source, whether it's news from Fox, science from scientists that get funding from anyone other than the government, or anybody whose politics aren't where they ought to be. I have to sweep aside entire categories of sources when I post here, since information from some sources would be spat on the second I posted it.
