What is "before it's news?" Is it a CT site or what?

It looks like it's full of distortions and half-truths? I didn't want to post the link, but I've seen it referenced on DU before for some articles.

Just asking ...

Thanks!

1. It's "citizen-reported" news with no editorial oversight.

Your assessment is accurate.

[RKP5637]

2. Thanks! I was wondering, sometimes there's an article that seems valid, but then another one that is

clearly off the wall. Thanks, now I see the source and why it wildly varies. It's all over the map.

3. Yes.

And every 'aliens are circling Earth with their ships' nut.
Also, some of their links are questionable.

4. It's quite a mix. It really walks the path between possibly truthful, fiction and simply crazy.

Some of the articles are so far out it's hard to believe one is not just writing them to yank peoples chains, but then I bet some believe them. Most of them are such a WTF, I can't believe someone is writing/posting this stuff. Just more of my daily WTF's.

5. Just be careful over there.

You may find your computer loaded down with cookies and crap.

10. Yep!

6. They are a good fantasy CT site

but rarely they do get one right.

13. I found it sort of fun to be amazed at the crap, and then I found my I.Q. draining away!

15. When people go, but Russia shot at... that is my first place to check

if it is there, 99 percent it is horseshit. There are a couple other places I do for that.

7. LOL I thought it was a news satire site

Somehow it makes it funnier that it isn't.

12. It's amazing. No wonder some people have such F'ed up notions running around in their heads. It's

like the Tabloids on steroids!

16. Just look at the right-wing "news" sources like Faux, WND, Rush, etc.

Media Matters just did an article on how shitty 2015 was for Faux "news" star, Bullshit O'REALLY?...I mean Bill O'Reilly.

The biggest problem is people still cling desperately to a news source, or blog, for information, even years after they are totally discredited and disgraced.

"Natural News," Mercola.com, and "Age Of Autism" still are cited in posts to back up bogus claims.

[nadinbrzezinski]

17. Well at least somebody is talking about Nibiru

At times I wonder if I should take a nod to this crazy stuff and insert the planet into a piece of fiction. I fear they would take that as prophecy though.

18. One of the wackier conservative outfits, I call it the, We Create Our Own News Site. nt

[RKP5637]

19. There's really some wacky bizarre stuff there. It's a challenge to even find something that might

possibly have some hint of reality to it. Phew, I wonder how many of them actually believe that stuff.
