Raw Story assembles headlines from various and mostly mainstream news agencies. It is pro US democracy. I consider it to be a news service that shares articles and videos whose sources are clearly identified. Raw story allows access to content that might otherwise only be available by subscription and has links to the sources (which may or may not require a subscription.) I support Raw Story for this reason.
Only allows for left leaning comments no matter how bad, and never an opposing view. They are scared little wimps with fake news. Recent clickbait saying Trump has dementia. I guess they don't recognize Joe Biden, the baffled nursing home resident who thinks he is President.
Became a solid process after a while. Initially needed 3X log-in to clear ads, then been working fine. Now, new app for log-in is non-responsive... doesn't acknowledge entry (good or bad) and doesn't clear ads. Also, so way to communicate this issue except by this channel.
Comments by RS haters here are amusing. The right wingers whine about how they visit to engage in "civil debate" (by calling posters "butt hurt libtards"), making idiotic comments like "Hillary lost... get over it" without offering anything intelligent and not telegraphed from Sean Hannity, Rush Limbaugh, or Breitbart. And then complaining about being censored and/or banned... try posting an even mildly positive comment about Obama or mildly critical comment about Trump on Daily Caller and see how long your post remains there. The biggest complaint I have about RS is the takeover of pop up ads and sometimes the comments section seems to be disabled. The RW whining about an "echo chamber" needs to toggle over to Fox News or NewsMax or the 50 RW blog sites (compared to the whopping 10 the progressives have) if they want an echo chamber.
I'd like to read the RAW article on Anne Frank's step sister but I can't see through the black block obscuring the whole thing, https://www.rawstory.com/2019/03/anne-franks-stepsister-meets-california-teens-swastika-picture/
I notice that none of the negative reviews of this site claim that the stories it presents are inaccurate in any way.
In fact, I've found that just about every item Rawstory posts is accurate. Occasionally the language promoting a story is hyped a bit, but the material itself is always accurate.
I think the simplest explanation for the negative reviews of Rawstory is that those objecting, just do not like the facts these stories present.
So, I like the site because it presents news that wouldn't otherwise get reported outside of local news sites/papers. However, what I do not like is that if you disagree with an article even slightly, you will get completely shredded in the comments. I don't think some of the individuals on the site, or those creating the articles, realize that their behavior towards all dissenting voices is exactly the same as behavior found on Alt-Right/deeply conservative sites.
It has ultimately made me limit my time on the site, which is sad because the website does provide some good information.
Tip for consumers:
Avoid the comments section.
Can't understand this site. Some days I'm banned and other I can post, or I can post, and at a certain time I'm banned. WTF?!?!
