Became a solid process after a while. Initially needed 3X log-in to clear ads, then been working fine. Now, new app for log-in is non-responsive... doesn't acknowledge entry (good or bad) and doesn't clear ads. Also, so way to communicate this issue except by this channel.
Paid $95 to be done with ads. Never happened. Impossible to contact. They resisted and lost when I got my credit card company to reverse the charge
I used to read the articles on raw story and comment. Apparently they cannot handle the opinion of those who do not fawn on assange and trump. For no real reason i was banned by a invisible moderator. While foul mouthed users continue to post regularly. This site sucks. Its as bad as natural news where comments are "moderated" or censored for being truthful, yet foul mouthed cursing is approved. And suddenly people are worried about censorship because twitter banned a whining attention whore trump? Lets laugh.
This is clearly a propaganda site. You can tell because none of the articles ever actually have footage, videos, or witness quotes. They see something "interesting" and write about it without even getting a story straight. Sorry, but that's just not journalism. Go out and investigate before you just write about it.
Just clicking on an article from this site causes my browser to crash. It also causes my PC to crash.
One comment their moderators didnt like, and I'm banned for life! Sounds like I broke some curanic Muslim law. Hilarious! Queers and trannies offend me.do you think of I ban them they'll go away?
Stories from this rag come up on me google page for some reason. Today's story was by Bob Brigham alledging that the El Paso shooter was a "white supremacist". I hope you realize the hatred and frustration you sow with this inflammatory false language. I hold the media and the democrats Solely responsible for the destruction of this country. No the US is not perfect but you will find no other place on earth with such a fair and level playing field for all. The fact that some of us would prefer our laws, all of our laws including immigration laws which do not permit illegally sneaking into our country, does not make us any kind of supremacist or haters. I enjoy diversity. I think it would be boring if we were all the same. But do not come here illegally. No other nation allows this crap. STOP THE LIES. MANY OTHER COUNTRIES YOU WOULD BE IN PRISON FOR THIS HATE AND LIES YOU SPEW.
The very lowest, vilest, lying pieces of all time. They are on my news feed, and, I am doing all i can to get rid of this low life trash. So far, I have had no luck getting rid of them, but, I will not give up until they are off of my news feed.
I have emailed and PMed them on facebook asking why I have been banned from commenting and I have yet to get a reply, my comments were politically motivated and I was always respectful to other posters even if I didnt agree with their views so I think maybe a Trump supporter may have flagged my comments so now I'm banned.
'We are unable to post your comment because you have been banned by Raw Story. Find out more.'
My news feed on Google is filled with left tilted junk news from Rawstory news feed. The stories are, in my opinion, planted to sway voting decisions for upcoming elections. I searched for ways to remove their notification to no avail. The media today is following a prescription agenda that hurts the county I love and I think they should be held accountable at some point.
Since the new format of Rawstory, all I get is severe crashing. I used to go to this site every morning because I liked the 2-3 paragraph stories that would brief me on the previous night's activities. I will be deleting Rawstory with regret. I can no longer stand having to reboot just because I clicked on a story.
Or they will ban you in a heartbeat. I objected to the avalanche of insults directed at my state, Florida, in the comments section and was banned. I used no profanity, threats or ad hominum ( although a ton of it was thrown at me) and banned I was by Moderator "bow" with his "ban hammer". The site is intolerant of any view it does not share and will censor them with abandon. Although I'm a Left leaning guy I have to say that kind of thing, banning and the gross shadow banning, is more more common on Liberal sites that it is on GOP'er ones. There are options to RawStory. I'd recommend you take them.
Comments by RS haters here are amusing. The right wingers whine about how they visit to engage in "civil debate" (by calling posters "butt hurt libtards"), making idiotic comments like "Hillary lost... get over it" without offering anything intelligent and not telegraphed from Sean Hannity, Rush Limbaugh, or Breitbart. And then complaining about being censored and/or banned... try posting an even mildly positive comment about Obama or mildly critical comment about Trump on Daily Caller and see how long your post remains there. The biggest complaint I have about RS is the takeover of pop up ads and sometimes the comments section seems to be disabled. The RW whining about an "echo chamber" needs to toggle over to Fox News or NewsMax or the 50 RW blog sites (compared to the whopping 10 the progressives have) if they want an echo chamber.
Several years ago Rawstory was okay, had some interesting and accurate articles, but now they're kind of like a liberal version of Breitbart. I ended up blacklisting them after seeing one clickbait article after another. Even if there is a grain of truth in their articles, they are written specifically to push buttons, not inform. There are much better sources out there.
I've been banned for the 5th time from raw story just for stating facts and opinions that oppose all those on that site. I never used vulgar language or made threats or did anything against their terms of service. There are so many users on that site who violate the terms by attacking me and don't get banned. They say horrible things about president Trump and some should be investigated for some of the things they say on there. I wasmy even given a reason for the ban, just as I wasn't the 4 prior times, even though I sent an email asking why which is what they require in their terms of service. The site is dangerous and is a breeding ground for anti Trump haters who want violence brought to him and all who support him.
The recent across the board rise of paywalls by the sites they pull their stories from so all the links have been blocked reduces the free use of this site unfortunately.
While I too have a leftward bent, knowing how liberal this site is makes me want to read the article their synopsis came from so I can understand the context and make a reasoned judgement from the actual real deal.
You cannot just depend on a synopsis no matter where your politics lay. A synopsis is just one person's opinion of the article and they will try to bend the synopsis according to their own biases.
This is true of many newsletters from various sources. It is coming down to just the wire services themselves to get the free version and a more neutral interpretations.
Like most, I was suspicious of the site at first, but the stories have proven true in every case I have read. I double check each story that sounds "to good to be true" but googling the key phrase and finding at least one reliable "other" source. Some days I do not find them. But in a day or two, it is being reported in one of those sources.
I haven't found any "3-headed babies" like RW tabloids where they proudly eschew fact-checking. Fact-checking is for limp wrist liberals...
There is a cult of ignorance in the United States, and there always has been. The strain of anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that 'my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge.'

Who writes their news articles for this joke news site? It's like they gave down syndrome monkeys the keys to the newsroom and said write stupid monkey or it's back to reruns of Michael O'bama's package bounce around on the Ellen Degeneres show. My God the Trump Derangement Syndrome they suffer from is a hilarious source of entertainment. Your crappy fake news site deserves the pathetic two stars you get.
Since September 2018 Raw Story has turned into a huge clickbait virusy website that will lock up and crash your computer. I usually went to Raw Story for a summary of other more legit websites. Go look at Alternet.com and HuffPost. Most of their stories are lifted from there. Stop supporting these two cisgendered white old men.
I'd like to read the RAW article on Anne Frank's step sister but I can't see through the black block obscuring the whole thing, https://www.rawstory.com/2019/03/anne-franks-stepsister-meets-california-teens-swastika-picture/
What a waste of time to read their garage. They need to thank James Madison for the First Amendment.
