They don't really investigate though. They do reports and essays based on what is publically available. Frosh level journalism.

It didn't explain why a website shouldn't cover topics other than the ones you want covered.
If you're so disturbed to be reading something that isn't about Trump, maybe not click on their story?

Kick in to the DU tip jar?

This week we're running a special pop-up mini fund drive. From Monday through Friday we're going ad-free for all registered members, and we're asking you to kick in to the DU tip jar to support the site and keep us financially healthy.

As a bonus, making a contribution will allow you to leave kudos for another DU member, and at the end of the week we'll recognize the DUers who you think make this community great.
