You can't have a well informed opinion without reading conservative news in addition to other sources. When people on here say 'stop reading Brietbart' or 'Turn off Fox News' they are basically saying they don't like listening to opinions other then their own. Also, unlike most people, I'd much rather read opinions that I disagree with. How boring is it to only read your own opinion all the time? I already know what I believe, I don't have such a fragile ego or intellect that reading Brietbart or listening to Christian radio or whatever is going to do anything negative to me. People who say not to listen or read conservative news maybe don't have that much strength or resolve in their own opinions.

Lol, that's absurd.  People don't say not to read Breitbart and watch Fox News because they don't like different opinions.  They say to stay away from them because they often willfully manipulate statistics, tell half-truths and even outright lie to push a conservative narrative.  Sure, every news source is going to get something wrong on both sides,  but sources like Breitbart and Fox purposefully peddle bullshit to pander to conservatives.  Hell, even the normally politically neutral Weather Channel had to come out and tell Breitbart to stop misusing what they say to spread lies.  Anyone who is looking for a conservative viewpoint is much better off reading the Wall Street Journal or something like that.  They don't have to make shit up.

It's funny.  The liberal news sources will give liberal interpretations of stories and push a liberal narrative by selecting what they report, and I'm sure they're even guilty of reporting half-truths sometimes.  The conservative sources like Breitbart, Drudge Report, Fox News and Infowars stoop to outright lying and manipulating statistics to push their narrative.  It's almost as if they're trying to prove that you can't push the hard-right view without being dishonest.

That's silly. Huffington post does tons of misleading statistics. I know because I regularly read it and it's source material and see how the manipulate statistics regularly to try to fit their narrative. There is a difference between saying you should read Breitbart and saying you should believe Breitbart. People with well informed opinions who are looking into different news sources generally will look into whether or not what they are saying is true. That's part of having a well informed opinion. If Fox cites a statistic, you can look into it. To say not to listen to conservative news because of that, you might as well tell someone to not read anything other then AP briefings. Although I can't say for certain people's motives for saying not to read conservative news, I'm fairly certain they just don't like hearing it. I'd even read infowars, which is basically just full of shit all the time. However if you read lots of different news, you can read how they report on the same thing which helps you discover when they are full of shit better.
