Huffington Post

Ever heard of a "circular reference"? http://www.allsides.com/news-source/huffington-post states: "Sources: Wikipedia: The Huffington Post". Allsides -> Wikipedia -> Allsides -> Wikipedia... With two websites, one can claim and prove anything. See WP:CIRCULAR Jim1138 (talk) 06:22, 5 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@Jim1138: Thanks for the feedback. I am aware of what a circular reference is; however, it is not applicable in this situation, though I understand how it may appear to be. While Wikipedia is, in fact, cited on the AllSides page for the Huffington Post, it is a citation for the general description of the organization, not its bias (the issue at hand). The actual AllSides Media Bias Rating is based off of a number of factors, found by scrolling down to the black box at the bottom of the page (http://www.allsides.com/news-source/huffington-post). Furthermore, you can learn more about how AllSides rates media bias by exploring the site and visiting http://www.allsides.com/bias/media-bias-rating-methods.--JNW1998 (talk) 06:47, 5 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
