The timing just isn't a coincidence.
I know they are all public....just feels like this site is doing the dirty work for them.

This thead will make the 6:00 news.

Give an example of a story that was here before hitting a major news source. Most of the stuff I see here is taken from major news sources.

Did they post a story about the chick eating the bartenders a-hole?

The Geauxjudge controversy was broken by a liberal blog based out of Arkansas. Sure, he was a poster here. But people on TD weren't the ones who put the story together.

Eta: TD was just the "scene of the crime."

Idk about WAFB/WBRZ. But I know Matt Moscona's show used to steal a great deal from the MSB.

I guess steal is too strong of a word.
They use this site as a scale to measure what is a clickable news story.

True. But it's not hard to believe that local media uses this site to gage what topics are hot or cold.

I think you're giving Reddit far too much credit.
