Nothing wrong with using articles to prove your own point as long as it's accurate. Unfortunately most people at this forum don't know the single thing about using articles as factual evidence. Myself included.

agreed but if youre dismissing a source simply because of your own biases... well, obviously there's a bit of an issue. there needs to be some give and take with these kinds of things. an understanding that no person or company will ever be entirely accurate all the time and just because it alligns with what you think does not mean it is inherently more valid.

there's so many reasons why trump is a bad person and an even worse president, so why have things like "he's creepy around his daughter" become hot button responses for why he's unfit for his position.

doubt he's done anything near what ol bill clinton did in his hayday

Whether it is true or not doesn't dismiss the criteria of using a source that is more often than not, accurate. It's like finding one piece of gold in a pile of ****. It's still a pile of **** after the fact.

Well that's the main problem with finding sources in general. You get too many sides of the same problem and it just becomes a bigger problem. That's why if you choose to use a source for your argument, it's best to have backup in order to backup your choice of sources. We're both on the same page obviously but of course people are going to look at HuffPost and instantly remember "man, remember when they made all those articles that simply made no sense? Yeah, who's going to take them seriously." Like I mentionted to elph, just because HuffPost posts once in a while a good article with factual evidence, doesn't dispute the fact that they are still indeed a ****ty source to choose.

Huffington Post is liberal but they don't post blatant lies.

People that claim to check multiple sources are incapable of sorting through a specific article and taking out the facts. They rather just look at the source and immediately disregard it.

I'm pretty sure he is on the same level as Bill or even worse. Bill just got caught and decided not to pay off his victims.

This is true for the most part.

Cause it's hilarious. But if Ivanka were my daughter I'd be creepy too.
