They may be lefty news organizations with a left bias, but so are virtually all news organizations, including Fox news, biased toward the left side of the GOP, which is functionally Democrat. The fact is that the sources nonetheless have the date of the comments made and the words spoken in what looks to be relatively straightforward context (if spun, but we can see through that), put forth in legitimate reporting context as to who, what, and when.
I am one of those who will go online and invest a lot of time in finding and confirming as best I can who said what and when in order to sort things out. Sources are limited because so many sites, right and left, require subscriptions.
I don't discount the accuracy of them just because I don't like the looks of the messenger. Spin is one thing, and a careful reader can un-spin pretty quickly. Fabricating wholesale falsehoods is a whole 'nother ballgame and sites that do that are fairly easy to assess as such within seconds.
