without needing to get into the weeds.
Most of what Raw Story does is -
1.) Summarize media stories (and in many cases, media that is PAY WALLED that the average person can't access)
2.) Publish reports on "social media" activity, since most if not all "politicians" are now using that for "communications" rather than doing pressers
3.) Have their reporters actually WATCH hearings, political broadcast shows/podcasts, to summarize what happened - something that many of the "mainstream media" won't even bother to do because they feel they have "bigger fish to fry" with endless reporting on Taylor Swift or, at least at moment, how some 2 million "brackets were broken" over the weekend associated with "March Madness".
There are things called "persistent patterns" that have emerged out of DOJ and this fits one to a "T".
If a referenced article is still within the LBN 12 hour criteria that is cited by them, I usually go right to that and will post that. Otherwise, RS gives a heads up - often for published stories that were SUPPRESSED by the original sources due to that original source using up valuable space for multiple articles representing different takes on ONE story (and even padding their pages with the same identical story in duplicate or triplicate with different fonts), and then finally bubbling up other stories, hours or even days later.
