Why the hell would I replace legitimate sources of domestic and foreign news with message board fodder?
you mean, so-called legitimate....
all owned by big corporations churning out the same story on different channels.
OT is way more interesting, sarcastic, irreverent and more.

Yeah. Media never skews facts. Never. Ever.
Like when the birmingham news reported an ebola outbreak a couple weeks ago. And that dude had alergies. fricking alergies

Honest answer, mostly yes. But bear in mind, at one point today, a lot of posters in the shooting thread were jumping on the idea that the murdered reporter had been sleeping with the killer as the motive. This went on for many pages and was disgusting.

OT detectives would've discovered the allergy angle hours before the victim discovered he/she had allergies rather than Ebola.

I use TD nightly to catch up on the day's events. I read WaPo and tNYT to stay caught up on real news.

I've noticed that the 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
this little retarded poster saw the shooting yesterday go down live
hence, why it broke here first instead of most major media outlets

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.
This may have been the most poetic thing I've read in years.

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.
But it's not hard to reach the right conclusions

Yes. Though my Father constantly insists that I get paper newspapers delivered to my house so I can read news that I've already read on here or elsewhere.
