Mostly wrong, but loaded with information and analyses otherwise not available. It's the interaction and possibility for correction that makes FR a powerful forum. But it is often incorrect on the conclusions.

Yes. This is why the blogs are so important to the opinion forums. The blog, in my estimation, serves as the filter for the forums, and drudge and other blogs serve as the reality check from the internet to the MSM. All in all, a better system of checks and balance than anything in the MSM.

Well, the blogs are somewhere in between, and have also been shown to promulgate inaccuracies and flawed conclusions.

FR is powerful because it gives voice to a wide range of contributors, and IF a person is a careful reader, one can find leads that DO lead to a more accurate understanding of reality. That is the reader's chore.
