DU rocks and puts the M$M to shame

[think]

Thank you so much to Skinner and all those who help keep this site up and running for an awesome alternative to corporate snooze....

A special thank you also to the members who take the time to learn, read, and investigate. Those that not only post but provide facts & sources that are vetted and corroborated.

I love this place.

1. The biggest difference between DU and the M$M is

the M$M is all trolls

[think]

8. I keep forgetting

to put the $ in M$M

4. Yes! Along with many other other excellent posts

that will never see the light of day on corporate TV....

3. MSM is a term coined by the RW because presumably CNN & the newspapers were Clintonites,

and liberals defending the slackers and the socialists.

7. Corporate controlled perhaps? When MSNBC censors an NSA whistleblower before going on air....

while those whistle blowers words are not censored & openly discussed here it's very apparent; at least to me; where the news is being best represented and reported.

Just my very biased opinion

Do you have a link?

[think]

13. Yep. Posted by another DUer today from boilingfrogspost.com

BoilingFrogsPost.com is a whistle blower news site started by Sibel Edmonds.

19. Thanks.

[think]

15. I should have said MSNBC censored an NSA whistlblower before letting him go in air

I'm sorry for my incorrect wording. I've updated my post to correct that.

Once again my apologies for my incorrect statement.

18. No problem.

10. I couldn't agree more.

[PDittie]

11. Yes. Best aggregator of

healthy conflicting liberal and progressive opinion, news, and shit I can't read elsewhere that is informative, confounding, stimulating, and worthwhile even when it's a POV I cannot tolerate. It's the crowdsourcing (stupid). Keep in mind I have put more people on Full Ignore in the past month than in the previous 11 years here, and had the Lounge on Ignore for several years now.

Thanks to everyone who contributes, but especially n2doc for the cartoons. For a long time when I could barely stand checking in here, I still had to see what toons were posted.

14. Been here since 2002; getting older, but so is Skinner

Hah! Not sure that means anything, but it's been fun.

16. DU, the first site I go to in the morning.

[zeemike]

17. Yep I depend on it for much of my news.

Sense I have no TV...and that is a blessing in many ways.
K&R big time and thank you Skinner and crew.
