108. Sensationalizing has nothing to do with accuracy. How that "takes away...
from what they do" is a matter of perception, comparing Raw Story to Drudge looks like an attempt to smear them by association. If there are similarities I would like some examples not generalities. It is simple to criticize something, not back it up, and hope something sticks. Ask the RNC...

Besides the fact that the word "Drudge" is getting paired up with the Raw Story, I have yet to see anyone make any case showing them to be not credible or a bad news source.

All news sources sensationalize their scoops and I don't see Raw Story doing it in a tastless or irresponsible way.

As for comparisons to Drudge, someone would need to show some examples on both sides where, for example, the "inaccurate reporting" Drudge does (to put it lightly), would be done by The Raw Story.
