Tin foil sources, who are they?
Ok for the last week with all that has gone on from the Monday morning bombs to risen letters to the explosion in TX our resident Tin Foil hat wearer in the office has been spinning out of control. When in the office each day I will pass him and ask what new crisis has happened and he goes though a half a dozen web postings spinning links of obscure facts and making wild assumptions that have no foundation. The Agent who sits across from him thinks he is going to launch and really wishes I would not wind him up every 2 hrs.
I was thinking about the sites he seams to hang on and live his life and thought we should collect a listing of Internet sources that we feel are Tinfoil sites and reliable and responsable sites reporting facts not fiction/tinfoil chatter.
So we will have the following catagories:
1. Tinfoil sites. (good for a laugh but just out there)
2. Report information but can not rely on the facts being checked.
3. Talking heads just talking to hear them talk.
4. Reliable news/ discussions trying to get facts out there.
5. Political spin and not reliable
Here are a few to start off with.
Www.whitehouse.gov(2 & 3,5)
Www.SOFREP.com (3)
PS.com (4)
Any congressional web page (2,3,5)
Since I do not live on the Internet looking a dozens of sites help me sort out what my tinfoil buddy's are reading so when they say it was on xxx I know not to pay any attention to it.

Interesting idea. I would find that useful too. in that same vein, I have been wondering how many of the "tin foil hat" sites are actually legitimate counter-intelligence efforts to identify and track nut cases like suspect #1 from the marathon bombing?

Anything with Alex Jones (infowars) or Glen Beck (the blaze) has to be on the list!

I get a lot of good info from Huffpo, but they're extremely irritating what with the abject imbecility of the comments.

Funny how Canadians and Britons come to America for health care and Americans go to Canada/England for news.

Tinfoil
http://intellihub.com
http://www.abovetopsecret.com
http://www.stevequayle.com
Tinfoil with maybe an occasional hint of facts... (Report information but can not rely on the facts being checked. )
theulstermanreport.com
homelandsecurityus.com
canadafreepress.com
Infowars.com
duffelblog.com
Beforeitsnews.com
Talking heads just talking to hear them talk & Political spin and not reliable
ALL the MSM, Major Cable News and much of print news.
Report information but can not rely on the facts being checked & Political spin and not reliable
Breitbart.com
Patdollard.com
theblaze.com
examiner.com
RT.com
sipseystreetirregulars.blogspot.com
Reliable news/ discussions trying to get facts out there.
PS.com
zerohedge.com
market-ticker.org/
Drudge (it's a news feed)
My personal TOP 3 visits are PS.com, Zerohedge and MarketTicker. PS.com always has wide range topics, information and thoughts on topics.
Zerohedge & MarketTicker provide a lot of information and/or opinion, but there is little to no discussion... the comments are funny.
Followed by:
No. 4 - Drudge Report - A gateway to hot topics.
No. 5 - PatDollard.com - It is always has interesting (sometimes outlandish) topics you won't find on the MSM. Much focus on US Politics, Jihad and Immigration. It is frequented by a lot of pissed off folks and the comments are sometimes entertaining.
No. 6 - BeforeitsNews - It's another gateway with a 'gracious' 15/25/60 split on actual news, possible news and actual tinfoil. It also has a wide range of topics. The comments are generally a hilarious....especially anything regarding Mars!
No. 7 - Sipsey Street.......it's primary focus is the 2nd Amendment and civil disobedience. It's interesting to see what is going through their minds.....without the risk of getting a 'No-Knock' at 3AM.

Did you say "agent"? That's a little disturbing.

Here is what is most disturbing LTC (MI) USAR, Special Agent and he calls him self a Lawyer. I refuse to call him a lawyer as he has never taken the bar and has never practiced.... He is just a law school graduate. 
He is the poster child for Tinfoil Hat
