Poll question: Truthout.org vs. the Drudge Report?
Who is more reliable? are they now similar because EVERY news website makes mistakes...etc.? and it is normal to get some stories wrong, and you can't be perfect all the time...etc.?

3. Drudge is worthless shit.
No way they're even in the same league.
The "DR" is Ghetto Enquirer.

22. It's strange, though, that many DUers post new stories
from the Drudge Report.

23. Democrats are notorious for being willing
to at least listen to all points of view, no matter how biased, stupid or insane.

13. So your solution is to spam DU with snarky anti truth-out/leopold
threads? Just how does that "overcome the rove team's advances"? :shrug:

6. Wish DUers spent half as much time pointing out the HUNDREDS
of errors and omissions by Corporate Media and how many people have died as a result as whine about Truthout and the fact that we will never know what actually went down on this one point.

For the record, I do think Rove has been squeezed by knowing there was an indictment that could be opened if he didn't help Fitz's investigation. A tip to Leopold may have been part of the tactics used to stress Rove into submission.

Anybody recall way back to LAST WEEK when it was noted the WH would not fight Fitz putting Cheney on the stand? Think about the possibilities there.

And instead of standing on shaky ground, berating a progressive news site, how bout some energy pointing out to voters in America, just how often Corporate Media has been wrong, usually in ways that mislead people into going along with policies that were bad for America but good for corporate profits!

They certainly have come out in full cry this morning.

26. People with a different opinion than yours...
are GOP trolls? What about the ones that have been here for years? Deep cover sleeper trolls maybe? Next you'll be calling them paid disruptors, I've seen lots of that around here too.

Labelling as trolls or disruptors is such a freaking cop-out. People have different, often passionate, opinions on high interest stories like Rove's legal standing. Deal with it.

11. I stand in awe...
Of the puerile horseshit this place is capable of generating.

How about an accounting of all the stories TO has gotten right? Or is that simply too much trouble?

20. I get my news from CBC, BBC and Radio France International
Drudge and Truthout are the same side of the same shitty coin. Hearsay and rumour. When they get things wrong, they are always going to come off worse against more professional news sources with a higher code of integrity.
