Woooooow.
You prefer Unity's source? What news source do "you" suggest Ab? Both sources I cited are slanted..politically speaking....180 degrees from each other. Yet both are reporting essentially the same story.

I don't prefer unity's source to either of those, for sure. The article is based on a report which is nowhere to be found in any of the sources listed...the only thing I was really able to confirm is that the FAA is enforcing a no-fly zone above the plant without saying why ("secret security reasons" was the statement given...).But, I personally feel like the difference in "political slant" between the news stations are played up to give people the illusion that they have a choice in what they can trust. I know that it's reaching into conspiracy territory, but the American news media operates mainly as corporate propaganda, and the person at the top of the corporate chain is always going to protect their power, which most always means bowing to/working with political power, even if that means keeping a story quiet.
Local news is almost always affiliated with the corporate news chains, such as the one you mentioned was CBS affiliated.
I'm not saying unity's source is reliable, I was just commenting on the relative reliability of sources like Fox News and CNN to sources like unity's. I don't feel there's much of a difference.
