The Boston bombing and the follow up pursuit brought out the best of DU.

13. I am proud of DU for striving to post facts and not allow rumor to get a foothold.

You said, "Some missteps, as you would expect in any controversial discussion held by a passionate and diverse group of well informed and strongly opinionated people, but this community has a fundamental reasoned and humanitarian touch that is hard to find and is reassuring in times like this."

I gave up on CNN several years ago and never glommed onto FOX, so I depend heavily on DU. Even my friends ask me what DU has to say about this or that, as they have also come to trust DU before the media. I'd say that's a giant step up.
