19. It's very true - that's why LBN is always the first place I go

MSNBC or Fox or whatever may have a few dozen reporters trying to cover most of the planet, some in person, others by monitoring news services, newspapers, broadcast news, magazines & websites.

LBN has hundreds, maybe thousands of people on a busy day, actively searching out and then feeding in reports from DW, BBC, AFP, Reuters, Xinhua, the Yomiuri, the Age, the Times, Die Zeit, Le Monde, the Straits-Times and dozens and dozens more, all the time.

Sure, there's some chaff with the wheat - what Drudge is reporting, and the odd ladle of swill from NewsMax or the Washington Times, but anyone with common sense can dismiss that which merits dismissal.

It's the ultimate page of pages, and there's no way that conventional news organizations can compete.
