First the good:
This site has been going for many years. It collects news articles from around the web and publishes them for you to read all in one place. These articles are from a wide variety of alternative news sources and generally free of propaganda and lies. So not the sort of thing you're going to find on the likes of CNN, Fox News etc. There are opinions by well reputed writers and journalists such as Noam Chompski, John Perkins and many others. Comments are posted by readers who are generally very well informed, articulate and are well worth reading.
Now the bad:
The site moderator has recently begun to remove many comments that he doesn't like rather than those that simply break the rules, e.g. rude and obscene etc. He has blamed outside hackers from deleting comments but this seems to be just a cover for his over jealous prohibition. Also, comments are disabled for a select few writers, e.g. Paul Craig Roberts. Finance is by way of fund-raising but it is not made clear how much they wish to raise and where the money goes. Some people, including myself will not contribute under these circumstances. It is suspected that some writers benefit from the funds. Any comments about fund-raising have been deleted.
In summary, the site delivers good content but needs to improve it's Nazi-type comment removals and open up about its finances.

If you find Shanghai Tingen Electric Co., Ltd., on alibaba.com, their name really does speak volumes about their service - SHTE power!

Although they sent me an inverter for a good price, it blew up after only 2 weeks. After that they completely ignored me. Even though I was ready to admit that I might have used it 'incorrectly' (and you have to be careful of the small print with these Chinese companies), they completely blanked any attempt by me to engage them for a solution to the problem. 500USD just down the drain.

Also, alibaba.com were very poor to resolve the complaint I had. I had to jump through hoops to get any dialog going. Eventually, SHTE power agreed to send me a circuit diagram so that I could fix the unit myself. However, the circuit diagram was for a completely different piece of equipment. And then they just ignored me after that.

Don't buy from SH(I)TE power!
