Yep...things surface here way before it hits the mainstream media (MSM).
Many times things are posted that at the time may not be a red flag but then months later you see things start making national news and you go "hmmm...there was a piece to this puzzle a while back posted on DU"---either something you posted yourself or info posted by others.
Honestly, I think that's why they wanted us shut down on Election Night...whoever did it was trying to stifle all of the crowdsourcing that is done here when repubs are up to no good..get enough local or regional reports from DU'ers' neck of the woods that is not on national media yet and things get exposed pretty damn quickly.

I am glad you found your way here! I think I would be lost without this place.
