Saturday [1]

1.  Classic case of needing to know

... who's who, who is shill-ing for whom and so on.  The Hill is a known DemRat site, like Huffington Post, Daily Beast, Politico, Real Clear Politics and others.

So there's going to be a lot of cut and paste of snippets out of context, cobbled together to say that which was not the intent.  Having said that, sometimes one can look, in passing, understanding the preceding.

They have Hannity advising McEnany no more stolen election talk.  In this case, we've seen strange things from Hannity before but The Hill's cobbling together is too cut and paste to use as corroboration.

A useful exercise is to type 'hannity disloyal to trump' into ggl search, it applies its algorithm and what comes up in the rankings on pages 1 to 3 is a list of sites pro-those-opposed-to-trump.  If you doubt this one or that, then go into it, get a sense of its tone and aim.

Make a dead-tree list for yourself of suspect sites and bear it in mind next time you read that site.  For example, Business Insider is one of those.  In answer to the question what of genuine rankings, i.e. a pro-trump site breaking through the stranglehold, well as just said ... go in there and get the feel of the article.
