Thanks to DU, I cannot remember the last time I heard news on the radio or TV, or read news, or

[BrklynLiberal]

had a friend call to tell me something that had happened in the news....and I did not already know about it because someone had already posted it on DU.

Thank you all for always making me look so smart in front of my friends and family..

:thumbsup: :hi:

That info is going to gain me a lot of respect in my circle of friends...

2. Me too

I joined DU because I got tired of my husband rattling off stuff that wasn't yet in the paper I read (print and web) or the radio. Now we're trying to show off who read a certain post first.

3. I feel the same

I'm also the first to break the crazy conspiracy theories at work. Thank you DU!

A lot of smart and informative people here.

6. Smart people...THAT is the secret....

I have learned a lot of very interesting and helpful things in the less visible forums as well.

7. Isn't that quite amazing?

It is almost always true.

Some news here leads the M$M by days, literally.

8. Another thing one gains from DU

is it keeps you informed when in transition as I am currently. I have yet to get my cable,phone and internet connected. I just moved into my newly built condo/half-double on Friday. I have my PDA which I'm using now; no window treatments until this Friday and they forgot my refrigerator...So,DU keeps me calm and connected with friends. No TV since I don't have rabbit ears/antenna. I do have Sirius Radio and am listening to Mike Malloy.

9. try doing both...........

not tv but radio....we do it all the time, even have an FM Transmitter to send the signal all over the house so we can listen in the bathroom, in the bedroom, in the kitchen......here is what we listen to most of the time:
