but you make some excellent points, in my opinion. People came to DU to get viewpoints they did not find elsewhere. If we quoted M$M, it was usually because we disagreed with them. Nowadays, we seem to agree with them more than before.

People came here for the "DU analysis" because it was different. But sometimes, perception is truth. Many people perceived we were closer to the truth on what was happening with our government than almost any other place on the Net.

In other words, we were more "anti-establishment". For the old timers, perhaps more analysis of the LBN issues might be the best outlet for their opinions. After all, you have to read between the lines of the news in order to get closer to the truth. And that is the type of information people are looking for, imo..
