Reply #119: I THINK IT'S VERY INTERESTING THAT THE NYT

[dreamcollector]

and TIME magazine have mentioned DU recently. I believe it means that you have influence and they know it. I wouldn't worry about mainstream news folk attempting to discredit important rival sources of information. They know people are turning away from them in droves if they want real news. Any intelligent person consults numerous sources for information and it is becoming obvious that the msm doesn't cut it. I wrote to the NYT last month scolding them for not printing the really important stuff and complaining that I had to get all my real news from alternate sources on the internet. But I said, "I just LOVE your recipes and book reviews and all that fluffy stuff, at least you're good for something." How many others have written to complain? Lots, I'll bet and they can see the writing on the wall. And as far as DUs reputation is concerned intelligent people very quickly discover whether they can trust a web site or not. You learn to be selective. I regularly check Rense and some other sites that have some far out questionable stuff because I often find something of value there. But I can tell the difference between nutty stuff and real information. Don't worry DU users aren't stupid and they dang well know it. You can bet the NYT thinks DU is a threat. And it is. Take what's going on in Ohio. That's the single most important issue in the U.S right now. What has the NYT got to say about it? Nothing. I am desparate to know what's happening in Ohio. The NYT goes on about the Ukraine. Get serious! Of course intelligent readers are going to DU and other places that have real news of real importance. The msm should be deeply deeply ashamed. I told them that. I don't know why they aren't blushing all over themselves. I also mentioned that what news they do print is false and that they will have to keep on apologizing. It didn't end with Judith Miller --- or whatever her name was. I never believed there were weapons of mass destruction in Iraq cuz I read it online somewhere that Collin Powell said in 1998 that they had none, had destroyed what they had and had no capability. He was quoted online and the NYT blathers on about WMD. It was disgusting and completely unbelievable. But I'm Canadian. The rest of the world knew it was all lies from the get-go. I think the NYT STINKS! But as I said the recipes and stuff are fun.
