The only reason I commented in the first place was to point out that the source in question is absolutely a tabloid and not in any way a source of credible fact-based information (regardless of the bias). If you love reading that kind of tabloid stuff and wild opinion is your jam (whether it skews left or right) then more power to ya. I've heard that the NY Post has an outstanding horoscope section.

I think you might be misinterpreting my intention and stance. I don't enjoy tabloid reading and I don't think it advances our understanding. I agree that such news sources are unreliable and dangerous. However, I think that reliability in news is more nuanced than credible vs uncredible source. Anyway, must dash. My moon is rising in Aries and it's playing havoc with my ascending Uranus (this one is for you, una).
