This is one of the most offending sites out there when it comes to censorship of what it believes... It's moderators are extremely heavy handed left and with Twitter, FaceBook and now YouTube aligning left to do all they can to influence the presidential race.
Biased and heavily censored with a controlling cliché that is very unwelcoming.
It's a good website. The stories are real, they're not fake. The problem as with a lot of websites is the comments section. If you support anyone besides Hillary Clinton you will get attacked in the comments section. Even if you supported Bernie you will get attacked. Even if the article has nothing to do with politics, you will get attacked for having supported Bernie. The majority of the people that attack you are bitter old women with cats as their avatar.
Users were saying Trump had asked his followers to 'shoot Hillary Clinton." I said the FBI and Secret Service had investigated, and if that were true, he would be in jail. He was talking about exercising your voting power - particularly the base of followers that were passionate about the 2nd amendment. I also challenged a user to provide a link to anywhere Trump said 'shoot her.' My posts were removed and I was banned from the site. So much for liberal tolerance. More proof that the left does not want a free exchange of ideas. They want to rewrite the 1st amendment - and silence any opposition to their agenda.
Yeah all I did was say Clinton will likely end up in prison due to upcoming wikileaks revelation, and then argue with a few of thier trolls. Uh... I give them a 1 star.
I notice that none of the negative reviews of this site claim that the stories it presents are inaccurate in any way.
In fact, I've found that just about every item Rawstory posts is accurate. Occasionally the language promoting a story is hyped a bit, but the material itself is always accurate.
I think the simplest explanation for the negative reviews of Rawstory is that those objecting, just do not like the facts these stories present.
Like so many here have stated I got banned for a different opinion. The profanity they used was off the charts. It's basically stormfront for liberals/BLM/marxists. Not a single poster goes outside a party group-think... they just up vote and agree with each other.
I have now been banned twice, simply because I am critical of Hillary Clinton - that's it! Without violating any of their terms, I still was banned - and, all of the comments that used profanity and condescending attitude against my posts were not removed!
They are not only against conservatives, but liberals too that do not agree with them!
Total rag, not worth your time.
I would give this website 0 stars if it were possible. I found little or nothing more than gossip and hearsay. This website is one of the rags at the check out counter at the local gas station store.
Stick with the main news websites (CNN, FOX, MSNBC etc) and even take all them with a grain of salt, do your own additional research and find the real truth.
This site is the pet project of some opinionated individual/s who care nothing for opposing views. Every comment, discussion, hint, of alternative views get banned.
Its simply the creaters view, or no view.
The number of times i saw interesting discussions get closed down and users banned is too many.
This site is one to avoid.
If your comments reflect anything other than zombie-like adherence to fringe-loony liberalism, they get removed and that account gets banned. Not exactly a place for incisive discussion and healthy give-and-take. Nothing "Raw" about the overcooked pap they spoon out.
All i wanted to do was tell posters that they are idiots and I got banned. I have noticed that liberals and democrats are not very tolerant and do not like to be called idiots even tho they are. I can take but they can not - bunch of wussies...
You'll notice immediately from the headlines how this website collectively focuses its perspective from a strictly liberal view. But what's worse is that they have a total disregard for free speech. They ban all dissenting comments from their talk back forums no matter how politely stated. Skim through the comments after each new story and they are all like-minded. If you find a single comment not in line with the rest you won't find it there tomorrow. If you're looking for discussion and information then find another site. If you enjoy a liberal echo-chamber then then site is for you.
You may see an article or two from Raw Story pop up on your Face Book feed. Usually they are controversial issues in the news. In the article comment section you will notice all comments are of the same mind. That's odd and clearly we see what Raw Story is all about. They report a news story, but only allow comments of one side. Case in point. Raw Story posted an article on my friend H. K. Edgerton. He is a black man who is a member of the Sons of Confederate Veterans. In order to be a member, one has to prove ancestral heritage to a Confederate soldier. Wait a minute, a black man related to a black Confederate soldier? No this can't be. This isn't what we were taught in school. Well, all I can say is we were taught wrong. H'K' explains The War Between the States from his black Confederate perspective. All comments concerning this article were insulting and degrading to H. K. A man who is extremely intelligent and I'm proud to call him my friend. No room for debate. Only drive by insults(by the way, that last line is what got me barred from Raw Story comments. Oh, and the comment section is generated by Disqus) To sum things up, Raw Story is a Left wing rag of a site with an agenda.If it were in magazine form and people still had out houses, it would be very useful.
In this day and age it seems that most all news outlets have agendas and mislead the readers. I would tend to believe the National Inquire or any other tabloid magazine before any article there. Any site that is not open to different points of view, deleting opposing views, and restricts free speech should tell anyone that this is a garbage (so-called) news site!
Raw story has one purpose at this time, that's to promote Bernie Sanders. I like Bernie but I support Hillary. When I defended her position against some out of control Bernie fans, all my comments through the years were deleted and I was banned. Most of Clinton's supporters have either left Raw Story or do not frequent it anymore. What's hard to understand is Raw Story calling themselves progressive yet they allow their members to trash Hillary, calling her every name imaginable, while protecting Bernie. When Hillary becomes the Democratic nominee I hope they dry up on the vine. Raw Story deserves no following.
Wow, they blocked me from their site and removed all my posts, none of which violated their "terms of service". Go figure. All I did was defend my position that a 4 minute video they posted did not provide enough information to come to any conclusion about whether a cop was racially profiling someone or not. That's it. I was called $#*!, moron, and all those posts remain up. Mine have all been removed and blocked! Dang. I hate censorship! Just for saying there's not enough information, then defending myself from the onslaught attacks.
I am neither a 'conservative' or 'liberal' and always express my opinions respectfully and logically. Yet, I found myself BANNED on this site. WTF?
Raw Story blanket censors conservative viewpoints. Raw Story has zero interest in allowing both sides of a political debate to have anything remotely resembling equal representation. Don't waste your time "debating" on Raw Story. They are a purely partisan-driven ultra-liberal echo chamber, always ready and willing to brainwash young, impressionable, and easily misled minds.
This site is a scam because the site removed comments that received highest votes by falsely flagging the comments as spam by the users such as Hans Meyer, Cathy, Mike Stevens, RS, Bishop and much more when the opinions were different. Watch out these scammers working together in this site.
This site uses a trick by setting up a wrong email address when you click "commenting issues" as below by omitting r between t and o in the email address so that users give up resending the message until they find it corrected next days if you return to the site.

This site is a Liberal playground. If you have one ounce of Conservative nature in you, don't bother, they'll have you kicked out. If you disagree with any of the regular posters, you will be labeled a troll and banned. If you relate to Animal Farm in an unnaturally comfortable way... this is the place for you. They'll have you walking like the pigs in no time.
