10. It depends on how you post it.

Don't link to the right wing site. You can mention details you know and information you know without linking to a right wing site. That is probably the biggest thing. It is a mistake that can happen at times with so many less known news sites out there.

Maybe it would not hurt to ask this question to admins, because to be able to research and debunk lies before they hit mainstream news is not a bad idea. I hear all kinds of crazy conspiracies where I live from right wingers. I mention they said it on here so others will know what lies are running in rw circles, but never link to anything online, because that just would give them more views and more "legs" to run with lies against Democrats online.

I like the idea of researching and debunking lies against the Democratic Party ahead of time before it becomes mainstream news. I think people would be surprised at how much that can hurt our party, when those lies are told against us in mainstream news.
