I hate seeing Raw Story articles cited here, same as tweets. Why not follow the links from each and get closer to the original sources?

I do a lot of genealogical research and try to drill down to original sources for all my information. I'm thrilled when I find a scan of the original indenture from 1685 for one of my ancestors. Many are satisfied by a listing in a compilation that only tells me the first listing of that individual being in New Jersey in 1685 with no indication of how they know he was in NJ or what documentation there is for that claim.

Same for political sources - the closer I can get to an original source - interviews, video, etc. - the happier I am.
