Why do people have issues with Daily News Bin: They are on DEMS side & use sources (HRC GP)

I find these 2 websites helpful & positive:

http://www.dailynewsbin.com/

http://bluenationreview.com/


These 2 sites are pro-DEMS and they do research & provide sources & links. Also they are pro-HRC & right now she is our nominee!

As DEMS the media is against us. We need all the help we can get!

Also I like:

Any other recommendations for other great DEMS sources?

BTW I also posted asking about the Daily News Bin in GD 2016: http://www.democraticunderground.com/12512270949

Some people put the website down, b/c Daily News Bin is very pro-HRC!

that didn't endorse a certain candidate received and continue to receive the same treatment from a small but vocal minority of Democratic voters.

There is also nothing wrong with Media Matters and David Brock.
David Brock does wonderful work for our party.

While some say Daily News Bin has a Hillary bias, others say U.S. Uncut had a Bernie bias. Most reliable media sources (except for FAUX News) try to not show any bias. Yes they may have biased op ed's, but they try to keep their news reporting "just the facts, ma'am, just the facts". Some succeed better than other. Both of the aforementioned news sources have been criticized by the opposing forces here on DU of slanting news to their candidates' advantage.
