I am a writer (restaurant reviewer) for Examiner.com - I pretty much stopped submitting articles to them because of the total bullshit they publish with reckless abandon. goodgirl and I joke about articles I could write that would get millions of views . . . . but they would all be bullshit. It seems the only articles they really put out there on the social networks are the sensational (bullshit) ones.
The fact that _Richard_ thinks they are a reliable news source does not surprise me at all.
