I've been going to DR since the early days when he was breaking major stories about the Clintons. It was obvious since the days leading up to the 2016 election that the site was compromised in some way. I don't know if he was paid off or is blackmailed or both...or what, but it isn't the same as before. There are times it seems to revert to previous days for a bit, but then it's back being lame. DR still posts quite a few items that are pro-conservative or pro-liberties/freedoms, but is no longer on the cutting edge of exposing corruption and breaking stories. I wonder if we will find out why in time.
