Specifically, I was asked how do question the reliability of blog writers, to which my response was that you should always question the source of the material from ALL media outlets. For instance, although this is a site that takes a look at Danbury politics from a progressive point of view, I always try my best when it comes to providing as much information as possible so the reader can form their own opinion.
Taking that into consideration, I used the content that comes from FAUXNews, a extreme right-winged news network, as an example of a media outlet that thrives on providing misleading information and DISTORTS reality in order to justify their slanted opinion.
From Media Matters, here's a clip from FAUXNews that backs up my statement.

On September 26, 2007, ten plaintiffs filed suit in response to an arrest of aday laborers at a public park in Danbury, Connecticut. Plaintiffs amended their complaint on November 26, 2007.
The amended complaint states that plaintiffs sought to remedy the continued discriminatory and unauthorized enforcement of federal immigration laws against the Latino residents of the City of Danbury by Danbury's mayor and its police department.
Plaintiffs allege that the arrests violated their Fourth Amendment rights and the Connecticut Constitution because defendants conducted the arrests without valid warrants, in the absence of exigent circumstances, and without probable cause to believe that plaintiffs were engaged in unlawful activity. In addition, plaintiffs allege that defendants improperly stopped, detained, investigated, searched and arrested plaintiffs. Plaintiffs also allege that defendants violated their Fourteenth Amendment rights when they intentionally targeted plaintiffs, and arrested and detained them on the basis of their race, ethnicity and perceived national origin. Plaintiffs raise First Amendment, Due Process and tort claims.
Plaintiffs request declaratory relief, damages and attorneys fees.
