Isn't there supposed to be some sort of system in place so that it posts legitimate news from legitimate sites?

This one is in "Whatever Goes" for a reason. That Diggs site is an interesting one, it can have some odd stories from either side of the spectrum.

It's based upon several logical fallacies... guilt by association, for instance. Even if Hitler may have liked FDR, it doesn't make FDR a fascist, nor does it necessariliy bring him any closer to fascism. Clearly, FDR wasn't a fascist. It brings up some dumb points from turbo-con men who can't quit crying about an election they lost a century ago.
