The following was posed in another thread and I felt that it deserved it's own thread.

Rense.com is a really good website.
A little old, but definitely worth saving. 
I absolutely amazes me that anyone can take Rense seriously.
and it absolutely amazes me that people attack rense like he writes all his own articles or like he agrees with everything on his site. rense dot com
is a mirror. free speech central. most of the content there is not created there. each article must stand or fall on its' own merits, and should
not be condemned to guilt by association with rense. some of it's true. some not. unlike the mainstream where nearly everything is spun to keep
our heads spinning and out of focus.
The problem with Rense is not that he allows anyone to send him "articles" for "publication," the problem is simply that there is no attempt to
maintain any semblance of journalistic integrity. Basically, the stuff that gets posted there is no better than some of the posts here. At least
the threads here go though the wringer from the various people who participate in this forum. Facts are checked through the process of post and
counterpost.
Stuff posted on Rense is never vetted and yet many people post links to it and treat the stories therein as though the information has the same
accuracy as that found in the daily newspaper.
For that reason, I view ALL articles posted on Rense with a jaundiced eye. It is not my job to check out the facts, nor do I wish to waste my time
doing someone elses work for them.
Besides, that picture of Rense is a little creepy, eh?
Rense usually gives the link of the article back to a major news source when possible. I can tell you he seems to have more
credibility than Coast to Coast though the new guy that took Art Bells place is a 1000% improvement.
