I have a question about Iraq coverage

By PG - April 7, 2008, 5:46PM

I've been checking in at "therealnews.com" recently. I don't see it cited often, and I'm wondering if anyone else has a view about the reliability of the site.

What?! I was asking about "The Real News" dot com. You directed me to youtube. One of us is confused. I was hoping that someone around here who pretends to be relatively well informed could tell me if any of their (therealnews) stories have been debunked. Their coverage is interesting and enlightening, but I hate to rely on sources only to find out later that they've been discredited in some way.

Ivy League hit the wrong blog.

I checked RealNews out and it looks to be strongly progressive-oriented as a starting point. Likely Noam Chomsky writing would be welcome (I'm OK with it, too).

I would assume that as a source it will be at least not wacko, but we'll have to wait and see if it can deliver sourced info. Maybe a nice discussion community.

Thank you Tom. I realized the mistake after I replied. I'm sure you noticed the ! and "pretend" remark. I was getting ready to take my toys and go home.

Check in at the site for the next couple of days and I think you'll see updates about Basra, etc. I haven't seen unreasonable assessments so far, and they don't parrot US media wording on every issue. If they've been caught getting things wrong, I haven't seen it.
