Oil Drilling in Alaska

This article makes a case for the oil drilling in Alaska. The unfortunate thing about the news is that seldom do they cite sources. The news itself is to be considered trustworthy. But when two news sources make equal claims and do not cite sources who am I to trust?

Do we not most always believe the side the most agrees with our biases. Even if there are sources, how many of us to take the time to see if they are credible.

Plently of people take the time when they desire to discredit a claim. One is also more concerned with sources in order to make their claims more credible if they anticipate confrontation.

I always hear about how the news is biased. I usually have to hear from another biased source to know what was biased. But then how can I trust that source unless they cite something I can see for myself.
