13. Is there any reason that he would not be allowed to leave the country, |
|
if he is leaving when he shouldn't that is a story but otherwise it is not news.

2. Does he have a dual citizenship anywhere? |
|
Or is he headed to some South American country harboring National Socialists?

6. Me too. They either have the basic story or they don't |
|
If they do it doesn't take long to write 3 sentences that answer the basic questions.
Except for increasing the hits on the site this teasing thing has little purpose.

12. why shouldn't they work to increase hits on their site? They're basically |
|
trying to counter Drudge without the money funneled to Drudge and his GOP counterparts.
The least we can do is give them freaking hits... let alone money.
Note- I've no affiliation whatsoever with Rawstory.

20. Mostly because it's tiresome, RS often doesn't post the rest for hours |
|
I totally get the money thing. But being on the left, I also think it can be over done.
The basic who, what, where, and when can be posted when they post the lede. They'd still draw in readers for the full story, but they wouldn't create the circumstance of people going back into the pop-up mine field repeatedly only to find nothing else has developed further.

16. They are extreamly reliable |

Most of what they post either comes from MSM or is later posted on MSM.

22. Raw Story has never been unreliable in my personal experience! |
|
Not that it increases their credibility, but they are DUers too.
So tease away!

it's somewhat new to me but so far they've been correct on the breaking news that I've seen. The teasers drive me nuts though.

10. There's leaving, and there's exiting. |
|
And there's returning and re-entering. So such a headline could be very misleading depending on the circumstances.
But whatever. We'll see. Point being, his butt hasn't been requested in a cell pending trial for anything.

Apparently it's some guy named Steve Schmidt. Info here: http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=102x1842254Since the headline is now incorrect, I'm gonna lock this thread.
