impressed, but I want to be sure it is a legitimate site.

(76,626 posts)with them in recent years. Long ago, one of their reporters contacted me. She proposed that rather than my posting on DU, I send her my essays. She would pay me a few table scraps, and place her name as the author of the articles. At that time, besides DU, I was sending information to a fellow named David, who was a researcher/reporter for MSNBC's Hardball. Older forum members may recall that, at the time, Chris was doing the hardest hitting reporting on the Plame Scandal. VP Cheney attempted to get Chris fired. And that a number of the things Chris reported on air had been on the infamous DU Plame Threads.
I even had a US Senator's aide contact me to request information on my source. My thought at the time was that the woman from Raw Story wanted that information, too. I couldn't tell the Senator's aide, as much as I wished I could have. And I never trusted the RS reporter was actually on our side. I did hear a bit later that she had evaporated into the ether.
