in such a way as to indicate that:

The web is a great news source, because no matter what your personal
opinions and prejudices are you're bound to be able to find sites that
support
them.

The same is true of any medium, but the web has extensive
(intelligent) analysis, and links make it possible to check original
sources, rather than relying on the words of talking heads.

ROTFLMAO. 'Check original sources'?

You are sometimes too credulous.

If you are not finding original sources on the web then you are not looking
too hard. In my case a number of science journals are available on the www
that are not in my local libraries (public and college). On top of that a
number of researchers do post thier papers on the www after they first
release them at conferences or referred journals.
