News), I try to get news from as many sources as possible.

I fail to see where anything I said was an ad hominem attack. I did not
attack you personally but said you should/must get your news from more
than one source - this is an admonition that goes back at least to the
days of my great-grandfather, who said you can't believe everything you
read in the newspaper and to which my grandfather later added the radio
and television.
