I always know both sides of the stories they tell me from the news already. Makes for interesting conversations.

[font color="navy" face="Verdana"]I expand on that by following links to original articles, then by watching Rachel Maddow and parts of Ed Schultz during the week, and parts of Chris Hayes on weekends.

Links posted on DU take me all over the place, of course. However, I am limited to the written word, since I live in the boonies where only dial-up is available. It takes hours to download any video content - and mostly it doesn't work at all - so I don't bother.

Most of the time I find more information and analysis in DU threads than just about anywhere else, if something is arrant bullshit somebody on DU is going to call it out pretty damn fast.

They are as reliable (if not more) as anyone else on the list and they are 1000 times more entertaining.
