 I wish people wouldn't cite them as a source, link to them or click on links to them. It's not much, but cutting down on clicks would hurt them in the aggregate. At the least, if you're going to use them as a source, provide a copious enough quote so that people don't need to click to find out what they said.

They occasionally work as a decent "amplification" outlet, provided they include the original source, and you ignore any of the speculative crap GER has added. I've posted a couple news articles in the past that I got alerted to from them, but I then dug through the article and got the original source to post directly from the horse's mouth.
