This is a political forum that is non-biased/non-partisan and treats every person's position on topics equally. This debate forum is not aligned to any political party. In today's politics, many ideas are split between and even within all the political parties. Often we find ourselves agreeing on one platform but some topics break our mold. We are here to discuss them in a civil political debate. If this is your first visit to our political forums, be sure to check out the RULES.

This is noted in the Breaking News guidelines. Typically, MSM sources can be used in the BN-MSM forum. Alternative sources such as YouTube, YoungTurks, your own report of a news event that you eye-witnessed, etc... belong in News 2.0.

There have been times where I've also wondered about which to choose. Sometimes you find something that doesn't seem to follow the descriptions.

BN-MSM-a source that has a print or broadcast media version, such as CNN, WallStreet Journal, FOX. AP stories are fine too.
BN-BLogs-a source that is online only. Drudge, RealClearPolitics, Bretibart.
News 2.0-source is youtube, or facebook, or a liveblog, or twitter, or some other nonstandard social media source.
In no case are editorials, clearly biased or slanted stories, opinion pieces or similar allowed as sources.

In typical Zyphlin fashion...I'll use a sports analogy for each one. Let's say a major news story broke with the NFL...say the owners had locked out the players.
(For sake of this example, ignore that sports thing really don't belong in *BN* anyways most of the time)
If you had a news story about it from ESPN or from the New York Time's sports page you'd put it in *BN*-MSM. That's beause ESPN is primarily a broadcast news entity and the NYT is a primarily print news entity
If you had a news story about it from ProFootballTalk or Bleacher Report you'd put it in *BN*-Blogs. That's becuase ProFootballTalk is a blog and Bleacher Report is a wholey online source of "news" and opinon.
If you had the news from a Tweet Adam Shefter sent out over his Twitter feed you'd put it in *BN*-2.0. That's because twitter is a social media site

Blogs are no less biased than editorials.

Some this is true. However, if you go look at BN-Blogs, you will find no shortage of threads with sources that are well within the criterion.
