Links for debating

[burner69]

Just thought I'd throw together a few links to make it easier for people to get quotes, figures etc, in debates. I'll try and keep it as unbias as possible, let it cover specific and broad subject areas, and would like it if people could add their own - I don't know a lot about news channels outside of the UK, so it won't be very comprehensive to begin with.

Hopefully by the end we can put all the links together on a categorized sticky.

As you can tell, at the moment these links reflect my own interests - which I'd like to change (the quantity/ subject area of - not my interests)

Hope you guys can help create a decent resource for debaters here at HL2.net

Facts? I don't like to use factual evidence or sources to back up my points. I like to repeat my stand over and over again until the other person's conviction fails and he begins to believe that if I believe my point with so much conviction that it must be true.

I tend to avoid all media, except the Independent, The sun (for a laugh), bbc news and google = try and root out the sites that show both sides of a story, or do it myself. EG FOX vs AL-Jazeera
