I have posted Raw Story articles in the past... I have learned the error of my ways (usually if it was just a recap from a cable news show, or what-not)

I can't believe that it is an acceptable source for LBN. In fact, LBN sources should link to the original reporting or be locked, imo (sites like Raw Story, Mediaite, Political Wire and The Daily Beast* are among the most cited in terms of using second-hand reporting).

* The Daily Beast does some good original reporting, though.

Not gonna lie, I enjoy the reactions. demmiblue Sep 2018 #53

That it was satire or parody was pretty obvious from the first sentence or so, The Velveteen Ocelot Sep 2018 #56

Hell, the title alone was kind of obvious! demmiblue Sep 2018 #58

Next time you do a parody post, please say so up front. This was a complete waste of time. nt Hekate Sep 2018 #52

Just learning how many people believe everything they see posted here was worth the time. Tipperary Sep 2018 #62

Really -- how shallow an estimation of your fellows. Hekate Sep 2018 #72

It is not an "estimation" at all. There has been quite a "demonstration" of gullibility here. Tipperary Sep 2018 #74

Or an overestimate of people's ability to spot satire. whopis01 Sep 2018 #79
