1. Reliability
So far, I have found them reliable. On a scale of one to ten with ten most reliable, I would give them a seven. I would rate them even more highly, but I haven't read Raw Story that long. So, this is my cautious evaluation based on my limited experience.

3. How about their web site: www.rawstory.com

Just in case anyone is interested. I love it when they deliver an editorial kick to some conservative's groin.

4. I think they're a fledging organization.

They're not always on the money, but they at least try. I rate them positively -- even though I believe they have an annoying tendency to to overstate a "developing hard" story, etc... However, because of that I would never cite them as a source in a discussion or debate -- at least at this point. They've got a long way to go before I can do that. Overall, I would rate them about a 6.5 out of 10 as a "news" organization. There were those who today compared them to Drudge -- I call bullshit. They're much more honest and I've yet to see them producing Photoshopped pictures and trying to play them off as authentic. Rawstory is LIGHT-YEARS ahead of that rag.

6. I have a neutral opinion of raw story
neither negative or positive. I like what I've seen on their site, but don't know if they're reputable or not.

8. There are two answers to every question ...
... and three or more are usually wrong. :silly:
It's not a binary world; it's quantized. :dunce:
