As usual these sources are retarded.

Examiner.com is an "amateur" news site where anyone can publish stories, there's no real central editorial control or vetting of content - as a result they routinely plagiarize legit articles and publish total bullshit.

Mint Press is an idealistic little startup by inexperienced students & amateurs. Their heart is in the right place IMO and I dig the focus on human rights & social justice, but these are not seasoned correspondents. All they do in their article is repeat speculation by random people and quote various other news stories in 'real' newspapers, then plop a provocative headline on it to get pageviews. There's zero independent verification by any of the writers.

I'm against action in Syria, but I'm also against shitty journalism and people who regurgitate it as fact because it backs up their worldview.
