One upon a time, truther sites were banned, scorned, and not looked up as places to post on FR. That's what.

Many a person has been banned from FR from posting links and such to such groups.

With Trig truthers 2-3 notches worse than that, ha

I wish that were still the case. However, I STILL see postings from sites such as examinerdotcom with at least one babushka of a FReeper bragging that she posts her own blog as "news" there then starts a thread here to direct more hits to it -but all the money she makes from the clicks of course go only to charity. *snorts in disbelief*

Others there get their news from legitimate sources, write it up as if it were their own news or directly quoting the original source, then post it on FR as their news back to the examinerdotcom website while defending their right to post it as if they were reporting it. For 'bragging rights', I can only assume.

It has gotten to the point where as soon as I see one of those fake news outlets as the source I immediately disregard it. Heck, I would sooner believe a link to DU or HuffPo before I would think about clicking on a posting from such sources.
