So basically your defense is a potentially questionable site that STILL calls the Atlantic leftist? I imagine you simply picked the least damning of the same ones I googled and, upon reviewing them, didn't deem them authoritative-looking enough to post but you have more of a facts-be-damned approach.
You watched Bojack, right? When Diane was listing a bunch of liberal publications she had tried to write for, you'll remember that the Atlantic was right in there. It's a pretty openly-known association.
The mostly-leftist NPR (which I never pretend isn't leftist; granted, since I'm driving less right now, I'm listening to them somewhat less), USA Today, and to a lesser extent the BBC. Then, from a pragmatic standpoint, a lot of breaking news I might first notice here or via google results (at which point I look for the most reliable outlet first, then read what other outlets are saying). I make a point of looking at multiple sources rather than trying to rely on any one outlet. And while I do sometimes look at farther-left outlets like the Atlantic, I try to vet their claims against less biased sources.
ha ha ha ha ha ha. That is the longest spew of bullshit I have ever seen.
