It's also gotten sloppy lately (many typos).

If they cite a source like WaPo or Politico, I will sometimes go to the source and post that instead.

I still think it's a better "news aggregate" (or news theft factory) than Huffington Post, which is filled with all kinds of celebrity and tabloid fodder.

If something looks fake or too speculative, I do my best to avoid posting it here. Occasionally, after I've posted, DUers have pointed out that the story has since been debunked.

I like the site in an "all things considered" way. Yes, they specialize in clickbait. And if the story has no substance, I don't post it here.

I don't work for them, I'm not a paid spokesman, I'm not a Raw Story fanboy...I just have a limited amount of time in each day to share what I think might be of interest here, and they're a source I use.
