Yes...!

I do not depend on FR as my primary news source, but this really made me realize how much I depend on FR as my jumping off point.

I realized I dislike going directly to media sites unless I can go from FR.

Agreed.

I'm starting to think there is swarming phenomena (news). Take over 100,000 posters of diverse backgrounds and geography, throw in a conservative consciousness and important news finds it's way to the top. Further, unlike other social media there is an interaction encompassing other links and in most cases analysis.

FR is not my primary sources, however it is a great aggregator and filter on what is happening.
