I used to frequent Real Clear Politics for what I hoped would be a balanced perspective, but they headlined far too many pro-right stories and sources. I finally determined I wasn't going to visit anymore, because too many of their stories just straight up pissed me off. Anyway, my 2 cents on Real Clear Politics.

They ALWAYS have their thumb on the scale with the polls they use. ALWAYS.

And just look at the stories they carry. They try to look "balanced", but while most of the pro-Hillary articles are from mostly reputable sources like the NYT or what have you, most of the pro-republican articles are from totally unknown and/or discredited crazy hard right wing propaganda sites.

Drives me crazy when the main stream media quote them as if they're non-partisan.
