News outlets do not provide the great troll threads that the OT brings daily. Good stuff.

You think news networks spout out real information. They operate the same way as the OT. Everyone wants to be the one to break the news first which means there's tons of incorrect information for the sake of expediency.

This evening the thought suddenly hit me: Killz, you haven't been checking the Drudge Report nearly as much as you used to. Why not? I thought perhaps I've become tired of extremely negative media headlines. And perhaps that is just a small part of the problem. But then it hit me that I've essentially replaced sites like the Drudge Report, CNN, AP, Ynetnews (Israel), and FoxNews with Tigerdroppings' OT Lounge and Political Board. Why the hell would I replace legitimate sources of domestic and foreign news with message board fodder? That's because TigerDroppings is no ordinary message board. I've noticed that average TigerDroppings retard sometimes breaks news faster than the Drudge Report, which is amazing because quite a few media outlets wait to break stories after Drudge does it first. Drudge has become the go to place for legitimate media outlets to receive their breaking news. Yet the little retarded engine that couldn't (TigerDroppings), a site full of jackassery, douchebaggery, and uncivil behavior commonly unites during a breaking news event to post incredible information FAR ahead of most news outlets. OT Lounge detectives delve into the dirty details of a breaking story and before you know it, OT detectives are (for example) discussing on page 71 of a breaking news thread the entire motivation, race, and social background of a mass murderer while news outlets are still struggling to verify the authenticity of the story. It's amazing that a sports message board is my go to source for legit news. Chicken, congratulations for creating a legit multi-channel news source that is simultaneously entertaining and informative. Massive kudos, bruh! -Killz

Good post brother. I feel the same way.

Yes. It's very current.

Also a hilarious, terrifying core sample of society.

Hell yes. This website always has someone that knows some shite going on on the dot. Plus, you get the occasional good laugh here and there as well.

My uncle will text me if something goes down and I also get my news from here

I've texted my uncle a few times about breaking news I saw on here and then he will let Fox producers know the story and they will cover it

I've told many people this over the years. TD knew about the Bin Laden killing before the national news reported it. So yes, this place is my major news source.

Also, the night of the Boston Bomber police chase. Was pretty insane.
