Credibility in the Current Election

Credible

"Compare 2016 Presidential Candidate Positions"

http://2016election.procon.org/view.source-summary-chart.php

- Site openly states funding
- Current (states when it was updated)
- Gives citation for reasons and facts as to pro vs. con standing for each candidate for each topic
- Openly lists donors and sponsors (none that raise red flags)
- Seems unbiased; solely a list of the candidates' views
- Testimonials from known individuals, with varying political views (unbiased)


Not-credible


"BOMBSHELL: Bill Clinton Lets Slip the SHOCKING Truth About Hillary's Health"

http://conservativetribune.com/bill-clinton-truth-hillarys-health/

- No author
- Written by the Conservative Tribune (bias)
- Lots of advertisements
- Very few citations of sources
