What we look for is good quality sources.

So we like peer reviewed scientific research, for example, as opposed to populist tabloid reports.

You know, we look for quality magazines, newspapers, etc.

It's all the old-fashioned sort of good stuff.

And I think it's important to say when we look at different sources, they will often come to things from a different perspective or a different political point of view.

That doesn't diminish the quality of the source.

So, for example, I live here in London in the UK.

We have The Telegraph, which is a generally right-leaning but quality newspaper.

We have The Guardian, generally left-leaning but quality newspaper.

And what are the things that are opinions on those facts?

But probably they can come together, because I said they're kind and thoughtful,
