I go through a lot of effort to bring news here during an era where it was threatened that they would "flood the zone". Meaning going through all the distraction clown show bullshit and comb through piles of entertainment/sports/lifestyle stuff, to reveal news items about things that have and will impact people's lives.

There are DUers who continually attempt to cast doubt on what is posted for whatever reasons and this is why I spend time including press releases, statements, court filings, court rulings, and other things to establish the veracity.

I wish others would do the same.
