ALERTER'S COMMENTS

Right wing rag trash website.

You served on a randomly-selected Jury of DU members which reviewed this post. The review was completed at Mon Feb 1, 2016, 09:14 PM, and the Jury voted 3-4 to LEAVE IT.

Juror #1 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: Yes, it's a right wind website. But let the readers decide its merit.
Juror #2 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #3 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: So sick of this
Juror #4 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: I think the question is whether the article is referring to a fact or not. Not what the publication the article is in. If the alerter had given evidence that the info was purely made up I'd vote for a hide. Otherwise this just seems like alert stalking.
Juror #5 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: This is a rightwing mag.
Juror #6 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: Hey alerter, I really don't care where the poster got the link. This post is a legitimate question. Leave it alone.
Juror #7 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: This is abuse of the alert system, and a waste of members time.
