I still say that Raw Story is the Drudge of the left.

[Maddy McCall]

Boy, that "BREAKING HARD" story I could have written two days ago, merely on presumptions.

Tell me exactly what was new in that BREAKING HARD story. Tell me exactly what was definite in that BREAKING HARD story.

Those of you who go gaga over Raw Story can keep on clicking and refreshing your page. I'll wait for Fitz's press conference.

[Lex]

1. Hey, did you hear Fitz will issue indictments?!

:eyes:

[Maddy McCall]

8. At least TWO!

Well, hell. I wish I could play in a poker game with those odds. How difficult is it to guess that he will file at least TWO indictments?

[Connie_Corleone]

2. One or more officials might be indicted this week, sources say...

BREAKING REALLY HARD

Seriously, the "breaking news" really didn't say anything we didn't already know. Now, some people are freaking out thinking ONLY 2 indictments will come out of this. The article didn't say that, but people's nerves are on edge and the article didn't help much.

[Maddy McCall]

4. Cheney will cry like a little baby girl when indictments are announced!

BREAKING AS HARD AS TITANIUM!!

{lol! Me too!)

[NashVegas]

12. Who's Your Source For That?

Hmmmm?

Seriously. I'm afraid I've jumped into the fray today, for real. Enough is enough.

[Maddy McCall]

16. Barney the Dog eavesdropped on a very important and privileged...

phone call between the Prez and VP. He's my undercover source close to the investigation. ;-)

[NashVegas]

17. Did You Hire the Dog Whisperer

to get that info?

[Maddy McCall]

21. LOL! Actually, he speaks better English than his master.

:D

[deadparrot]

3. Thanks.

I get a kick out of the good rumors, but ultimately, we know nothing.

[stop the bleeding]

5. Look kids, Big Ben Parliment! n/t

[meganmonkey]

6. I think this is the straw that broke the camel's back for me

Not just about RawStory, but about the reactionary crap spewing out all over GD right now.

:shrug:

[deadparrot]

7. It truly is nuts.

:crazy:

:scared:

[Maddy McCall]

13. Not reactionary on my part. I've been beating this same drum for a year.

[meganmonkey]

19. No, not you

I'm talking about the 'world is ending' crowd who think this is the end of the story or something...

[Maddy McCall]

22. I agree with you. I can't believe so many people are now...

speculating on what exactly Raw Story is talking about, when it's obvious that they know no more than anyone at DU knows.

[Just Me]

9. So what?

:shrug:

We can't have one of our own?

:shrug:

[Maddy McCall]

29. Why exactly would we WANT a Drudge-like website?

:shrug:

[Marnieworld]

10. Breaking and Developing: Indictments may be coming!

Yawn!

[Maddy McCall]

11. Sources close to the investigation say!

Barney the Scottie said so! And I believe it! BREAKING HARD! :D

[Tummler]

14. BREAKING WIND!

Jets of warm, moist air emanating from (defense) attorneys close to the investigation ... developing ...

[Taxloss]

15. It's all sizzle and no sausage.

It rarely delivers anything like what it promises.

[kid a]

18. What is Raw Story? Do you have a link? nt

[deadparrot]

24. www.rawstory.com nt

[Maddy McCall]

25. www .shittydrudgelikewebsite. com

[deadparrot]

30. LOL.

True enough. :)

[Oilwellian]

20. Who cares?

What difference does it really make in the grander scheme of things?

[meganmonkey]

23. Well, when DU ends up on Level 3 because of some

'breaking news' that isn't particularly 'breaking' or 'news', it gets kind of annoying :P

[Maddy McCall]

26. Amen. Take my frog away and it pisses me off! :D

[Walt Starr]

27. It is NOT "Breaking Hard" You'd better check yourself.

It says DEVELOPING HARD!

:evilgrin:

[meganmonkey]

28. Hey - NO SEX THREADS!

}(

[Maddy McCall]

32. Oh baby, you're turning me on!

:D :P

[K-W]

31. You seem more interested in bashing Rawstory

than either encouraging it to change its ways or encouraging a competitor to fill that niche in the liberal blogosphere.

I dont see how bashing Rawstory and its readers helps the situation.

[Maddy McCall]

34. Oh, maybe I didn't make myself clear.

Fuck Raw Story. It's such a mess of an attempt at journalism that even Walter Cronkite couldn't turn it around.

But, if I were to offer Raw Story advice, it would be to QUIT TRYING TO BE LIKE DRUDGE.

And drop those godawful pop-up ads.

[SeattleRob]

33. There's no comparison

Sludge is a mouthpeice for the RNC and has been caught on several occaisons stealing news from other sources. (Does anyone remember how he stole and doctored a photo from Tom Tomorrow?)

Raw Story is on another level and have been seemingly accurate. (It's hard to know about accuracy of much of what they've reported about Fitzgerald because so much is unknown at this point.)

The "Breaking Hard" story seems to indicate that the indictments may be coming today.

Upon review, we have decided to unlock this thread. I apologize for the inconvenience.

[obnoxiousdrunk]

37. I'm not going into

those Raw story threads. I'll be in the Penis and clit circumcision thread until some thing really Breaks HARD.
