We really need to create a ratings system for media outlets and have it as a option on the main page. People need to know what they're reading and the position being taking politically. Just a suggestion it would help me, I know the main culprits but not the top 50.
That is an excellent suggestion. One of the most useful things I've gained from FR (thanks FR!) is an understanding of who's who in the media -- who writes from what perspective, whose opinions matter, who can be considered an authoritative source. It probably took me two or three years to get a handle on this. A ratings system would probably be a big help in speeding up this process for the new posters. A hundred-thousand media-savvy, unfoolable Freepers would be a force to be reckoned with.
