 There is a reason the left watches msm; because they equate legitimacy with truth.  "NYT is truthful because they are a big legitimate newspaper"

The right reads zerohedge because they equate truth with legitimacy.  "Zerohedge is truthful because their content in the past has been truthful" 

Big difference.
