Last year, when Arafat was gravely ill, Raw Story was reporting that he was dead. He wasn't dead until about a week or ten days later.

22. That wasn't just Raw Story
I don't even like Raw Story that much, I find it too hysterical, but everybody bounced around on the Arafat story. That's a pretty weak attack, IMHO.

21. They have a point of view
It shows sometimes, but their sources have always been reliable, as far as I've ever seen.

That's almost the whole point of it.. Kind of a mix between Drudge Report and CNN.com (but the liberal version, of course).

7. Yes. Solid and they often post primary information like letters, ...
... memos, and other documents well before they are available elsewhere.Peace.

10. I consider Raw Story reliable, and I'm one of the people who doesn't
believe Capitol Hill Blue.

It's a glorified blog, with about a 49% accuracy rate, and I am being kind.

17. 100% better than Corporate Media (CM). They are truth tellers.
