Something threads or posts that have a "Q" connection rarely, if ever, have....

I suggest go post bullshit opinions seen here on DI(some of my opinions included) on a serious OSI server, it gets called out immediately and repeatedly, if you post shit too often you get banned. 

The Middle East conflict updates have no commenting, just posts on information, which, if not already sourced properly, is easily verifiable. 

Hell, anything Israeli/Iran-related usually hits the Jerusalem Post/Al Jazeera fairly quickly, WION too

If not, verification is 1 or 2 clicks away.

Would listening to an interview with ex-IDF soldier or ex-government high official who speaks their truths be proper sourcing? In other words, actual witnesses.

Too much like the old IRC.

I can't stand the format either

Was called Boomer repeatedly, for not recognizing a Pokémon quote, LOL, but

If you want to be clued into breaking news etc. like I do, it's great for news junkies.

I take everything with a healthy grain of skeptical salt... especially with real-time events, and if you spend enough time you do get a feel for the legit sources and the BS ones.

Swimming or sinking through the information.

As long as they aren't lying.

Why would firsthand witnesses not being involved in whatever game they are not playing any more be lying, that would be your responsibility to prove they are lying before using them as a source.

Exactly .... it's what OSI sites are for, a clearing house of information, posted and dissected where its legitimacy is determined. 

LOL supposedly legit MSM "sources" use "ex" this or that, all the time.

Constantly bitching about sourcing gives "DI" a definite entry level vibe for sure...

That was what's cool about ATS when it was at its zenith, breaking news would pop there #1 and #2, various ATSers were known to be plugged into whatever their specialty was. 

Some of the old researchers there and elsewhere rarely source their posts, and they are legit"sources"; they know it stifles the discussion of the actual topic.

NEW SATELLITE IMAGES FROM FORDOW show activity near bombed ventilation shafts. “MAXAR collected new high-resolution satellite imagery today (June 29th) that reveals ongoing activity at and near the ventilation shafts and holes caused by last week’s airstrikes on the Fordow fuel enrichment complex in Iran. On today’s imagery, an excavator and several personnel are positioned immediately next to the northern shaft on the ridge above the underground complex. The crane appears to be operating at the entrance to the shaft/hole. Several additional vehicles are also seen below the ridge and are parked along the access path that was built to access the site. In the link provided below, you can download several images from today which provide an overview of the complex, closer views of the activity on top of the ridge as well as views of the tunnel entrances to the underground complex.” @Maxar
