I never click on Raw Story links and usually only skim the OP to see which news source(s) Raw Story is using so I can go find it on my own. I really wish Raw Story was not allowed in LBN - I don't think they are a legit news source. I think Raw Story sucks but I don't think anything negative about DUers who post the links here.
