My spouse goes to Raw Story all the time...

[albacore]

I think they're a tabloid site, but it's her baby.

They've been unreachable all day..
Anybody got any info??

[MLAA]

1. Working for me with no issue

[BleedsBlue]

2. Working for me also..

[elleng]

3. No info. NOT tabloid,

a friend and I used to write for them occasionally.

[albacore]

5. Seems sensationalist to me. Exaggerated headlines. Old stories not labeled as such. nt

[Maru Kitteh]

7. You're not alone. I would classify them as sub-optimal, at least. nt

[WhiskeyGrinder]

16. You're right.

[MontanaMama]

12. You wrote for them?

I’m interested in that, elleng. Maybe I should’ve known you were a writer...but I didn’t.

[elleng]

18. Hey Mama! I'm a lawyer,

I research(ed) and write/wrote!

Did some when early politically engaged and BEFORE I retired, now I take pics (see 'Photography' and 'Birders!,) try to see my 4 grands, and hang with such as you!!!

[MontanaMama]

20. Holy hell...

Where have I been? You’re clearly more amazing than I already knew. I follow your moon pics and your birds closely...

Lawyer...you smarty you. What a community we have here.

[elleng]

21. QUITE a community here!

I owe much of what I've become to my family, in particular Dad's part, 3 lawyers - Dad, + 2 uncles, then cousin!

13. I go there all the time.

Some slapdash editing, quick reads with links, sometimes-misleading headlines. But I go there all the time anyway. I still like their selection of stories, even if some are recirculated. And I've been commenting at RS forever.

4. There's a lot of Raw Story hate here on DU, but T-Bogg.

Nuff said.

[Cirque du So-What]

14. Some folk reflexively spit on the ground

at the mere mention of Raw Story.

[womanofthehills]

19. Raw Story has the BEST headlines for reposting stuff on Facebook

I love to use them for that.

[Eyeball_Kid]

15. I don't hate RS. I do go there all the time. It has shortcomings. What doesn't?

They have some good stories as well.

[OAITW r.2.0]

22. I've been a T-Bogg fan for a long time.

But he went from opinion writer to editor. Sad waste of talent.

[dewsgirl]

6. Their info is solid.

They have very click baity headlines, but they are not a tabloid/fake news.

[TheBlackAdder]

8. They're one of the best aggregators, sometimes clickbaity, but posts from many news sites.

[tblue37]

10. I like them for 2 reasons. 1. I can get quick summaries of main points so I can decide whether

it's useful to read the whole article. 2. I am severely hearing impaired, and many videos are not captioned. Raw Story provides good summaries of videos, so I can follow what's going on.

[Eyeball_Kid]

17. Most often, I'd rather read than listen. RS does the trick. n/t

[ananda]

9. It opened fine for me.

11. If I lied to you and told you they went out of business, would it stop her from going there?

I'm willing to be the bad guy here, if/when she ever finds out they still exist, just say the word...
