Just curious. I don't doubt we all do it to some degree, but I wonder where people draw the line, if at all.

I'm I'm talking about reading, I'll read almost anything with a slant but I really rarely dismiss on source alone unless it's just a well known massive propagandist rag. I read all sorts of things that wouldn't be approved by someone because there's value in the opposing perspective even if what they are saying is complete and total shit because it helps you see the depth (or lack thereof) of their thought. I don't take almost anything from a single source as a fact. You can tell me the Declaration of Independence was signed on July 4, 1776 and you may be right or wrong but I won't take just one word for it if it's something I'm not already familiar with.
If not written media, I have little patience for videos/audio that is a talking head rambling whether it's Rachel Madcow or whatever the hell is the opposite, Mark Levin, or someone on "our" side. Mostly because even if they have a valid point, it's a point that could be written in a paragraph they want to ramble about for an hour.
