If some website agrees with ones perceptions - then it must be correct. Right?

Instead of blindly agreeing with some source, why not do a Google search and read up on that website?

So that ones views are not tainted by bias.
Agree with you and there are a few sites I use regularly. It is important to recognize how accurate, or not, some of these media evaluating sites are. One I just looked at states the basis of its conclusions and some conclusions are only by user response. Not particularly helpful, as you point out, “birds of a feather....l

Still one should try.
