1. That's been the truth since the first days of DU.

Back in a different world.

[The Blue Flower]

2. DU's been my go-to for news for 20+ years

3. Yup. There's a reason I'm a long time lurker with a small post count...

Too many news articles to read!

DU became my go to source to find out what's happening in the world, because I noticed that most big news stories got posted here first before hearing the mainstream talk about them.

6. Repeat: Most big news stories get posted here first before hearing the mainstream talk about them.!!

That is the reason that I keep coming back..........................

.."..Most big news stories get posted here first............."

Many of us (me included) search the news for stories to post at Democratic Underground. We often post the latest
news from all over the world, ................."before the mainstream media ever posts it"

Some of us (me included) look everywhere:

London Times, New York Times, L A Times, Chicago Tribune, CNN News, PBS, Local News, Here & There, and Everywhere!!!!

Most people do not know how hard it is to find the latest news, that the mainstream media has not reported on. Yes,
You think you have seen it all, and then there is more!!!

..... " MORE PLACES TO LOOK THAN PEOPLE CAN IMAGINE"... HERE, THERE and EVERYWHERE..

.......WE LOOK, AND THEN WE LOOK SOME MORE. And More and More, and even ......."MORE' ...

5. W000000000t!!!!! 👍 TY!

Y'all, NPR, and Local Public Radio are my general firsts. 👍

7. Indeed it is. I'll never forget the Boston Bomber scanner.

We were literally listening to the police scanner via a member (I can’t recall who) as they closed in on the boat the bomber was hiding in until the cops realized they were on an open frequency.

I come here for “as it happens” coverage.

10. And we heard from a DUer that CNN would no longer be reporting on Iraq war protesters

And *poof* they were gone!

[lunatica]

8. Absolutely!

And that’s not all that so great about DU! If you need a friend, everyone here steps up!

I always come here to see if anything interesting is going on, then I go watch MSNBC if there is.
