Help, please. The Daily Beast. Is it good, bad, reliable, twisted? |
|
I've found an article I'm not sure I should link and I don't know The Daily Beast's reputation. Or if I do know it, it's not coming to mind right this second.
Thanks everyone!

I sometimes have a hard time keeping straight those sites DUers have nick names for versus the actual name of the site.

2. It is sort of shallow. Lot of entertainment, celebrity, fashion stuff. |
|
The news stories are fairly well written, but short. It's a good way to get a headline view of the latest news and interest stories. This is my opinion. Others?

5. "Shallow" That's a good word for the writing in the article. |
|
I may post it just for "posterity's sake".
Thanks.

3. Daily Beast is full of false equivalency and "the left does it too" apologists. |
|
Howie Kurtz writes for them, which should tell you a lot right there.
