heh there is actually a site to help you figure it out!

Heavy Caveat: We’re loathed to consider thepeoplesview.net (TPV) “real,” because it’s mostly opinion, but it is a site that makes their opinions based on data they’ve culled. But it makes no attempt to hide its liberal slant.


Apparently it has been around since 2008
The question-marks:

Does TPV ignore other sources to help slant their opinions?
And even this tidbit, “deeply zealous about liberal activism,” creates not so little dissent among fellow Leftists. In 2011, TPV posted the article “A Left Wing Hierarchy,” which seemed to try to pigeonhole Obama-objectors on the Left into neat categories, complete with ‘training’ on how to handle arguments with them. Some left-leaning bloggers took exception to it.

Our initial gut-reaction is to consider suspect everything that you read at TPV. Information there is likely okay to repost and share, but be ready to suffer through the comments you’ll likely get, mostly rebuking whatever claim your shared article posits.
