Overview
- Sanger walked Carlson through a color‑coded guidance page, saying red‑tagged outlets cannot be cited for facts and may be used only for opinion.
- He listed Breitbart, the Daily Caller, the Epoch Times, Fox News, the New York Post and The Federalist as blacklisted on the page.
- He said fully approved entries include the New York Times, the Washington Post, CNN, The Nation, Mother Jones and GLAAD.
- Sanger attributed the page’s origin to a user called “Mr. X,” emphasized that many volunteers edit it, and noted topic‑specific exceptions such as limited use of the ADL.
- The Daily Caller reported that Wikipedia deems the SPLC generally reliable on U.S. extremism topics, and the articles did not cite an official reply from Wikipedia.
