    Default Credible news sources and the estate tax

    USA Today is usually something I pick up for a laugh and to see what the conventional wisdom is doing (WorkingStiffTM Edition), but it got me thinking about recent comments that basically call some sources (The New York Times, CNN, The HuffingtonPost) too liberal to be credible and some (The Wall Street Journal, FOX News, Townhall.com) too conservative to be credible.

    Can there be any agreement on a US news source that is credible to all sides?

    I'm hardly offering up USA Today as a shining example of fair and balanced journalism, but it did get me to thinking. Are we headed for a UK model wherein all the press in biased, but at least you know which way, or can the be comment thought on sources credible to (nearly everyone)?

    (Quick shoutout to Reggie who will find the very question dripping with the venom of a deeply leftist plot. Reggie, that was supposed to be funny :-)

    Here's an example from today that I thought was useful, although it bends toward my way of thinking. (I haven't owed taxes in years, and the beneficiaries of my willshould expect to be affected by the estate tax, but I support a lower exemption, like maybe a million bucks.)
