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.

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.
