A note on sources:

Please use discretion when referencing obviously biased or factually questionable material. Vanity websites are generally not as credible as the New York Times, the Washington Post or the UK Guardian and are likely to be locked. A good rule of thumb is to ask yourself is the author readily identifiable and likely to be cited by the mainline world press or encountered in an alternate format (mass-published book, academic journal, newspaper article, radio or TV show).
Please avoid posting "information" from overtly racist websites. A good, but not exhaustive, guide is Franklin's Hate Directory (www.hatedirectory.com).
Posting from Whatreallyhappened.com, Chronwatch.com or Debka.com is specifically not allowed.

What do you think about the OP? Little Tich Jun 2016 #8

You might not be aware Little Tich...... Israeli Jun 2016 #13

Yeah, it's pretty low to try to silence your opponents by taking down their websites. Little Tich Jun 2016 #14

Still scraping the bottom of the sewer @ Mondoweiss? I thought... shira Jun 2016 #10

I think it's good to have a wide range of sources on DU - even Mondoweiss. Little Tich Jun 2016 #15

If you're against posting hate speech, Mondoweiss did just that with Paul Larudee's letter. n/t shira Jun 2016 #16

You mean this letter? Little Tich Jun 2016 #18

"While I can't really explain why such a letter appeared on Mondoweiss..." shira Jun 2016 #20
