There's reason that for research in Academia, First Tier Sources are always preferred and the most authoritative. Otherwise, you increase the chance of being limited by the commentary and bias filters of others, and rob yourself of understanding the "Why" of your subject matter.

Same logic from Academia: when possible, use First Tier Sources...it helps to limit your analysis and interpretation of the subject from being limited by the filters of others. :)

CNN continuing to prove why no one should ever give their fucking apologist and whitewashing B.S. the time of day.

It's just a question of "when" (not "if") this asshat shows up with calipers while citing phrenology.

Fuuuuuudge.

...and by 18+ points...wowza! I guess the WH staff better break out the ketchup cleanup protocols.
