Everything is opinion IMHO. Follow the money because the so called experts will say what the people funding them pay for. Lately it's more paid for opinions than expert reporting. You'll hear what you want to hear. Myself included!

Like anything in life, there are ranges to the extremes. Folks like Michael W Perry who flat out inject his views before reporting the news is

Even speaking to experts themselves, one should at least think about the context and where that person is coming from. A really good friend is in immunology and her PhD is in the MNRA stuff, but she's working on a different condition. She knows many of the folks who are cited personally and she mentioned even questioning those folks face-to-face at times at what or why they were reporting things a certain way.
And, just because they may be on the same side of the issue/argument, doesn't make them automatically credible. However, there are definitely "articles" out there that are 99.99% opinion, and folks start parroting them as fact. Again, doesn't matter what side, political spectrum, etc, you are. Personally, I think locally Civil Beat is one of the worst. I would loop HNN in there as bad, but they just have bad reporting overall.
