8. Thanks.
I think that if people are exposed to the fact that this site is completely awful they will be less likely to use it as a source when attempting to sway moderates.

10. What does Judy Miller have to do with this question?
This has nothing to do with the NYT or anything other than whether or not CHB is reputable or a rag. Please don't hijack my poll.

13. Okay, CHB is slightly more reputable than the NYT at this point.

14. not sure I'm qualified to judge. I will say, however, that my limited
exposure from articles linked here, is that they seem to be things that MIGHT be true, are plausible and maybe even believable, but I've yet to see them post any proof of their assertions.

For the record, Raw Story also often posts with unnamed sources, but IMHO, again from my limited exposure, a great many more Raw Story items are borne out by subsequent events or releases from usual news organs.

15. A perfectly reasonable answer.
Thanks for the well thought out reasoned answer.

I should have put in an undecided option.

16. "Rag" doesn't go far enough
It's PURE UNADULTERATED BULLSHIT.
