'''''OpEdNews''''' is a [[left-wing]] website which, in its own words, is the "''[[Drudge Report]]'' for [[progressives]]." Apparently, the staff at ''OpEdNews'' miss the [[irony]] of that statement, suggesting that one can look upon Matt Drudge as a professional role model and be taken seriously (well … doubtless they meant to say they want to emulate his popularity). The site regularly posts content from established progressive writers, as well as ramblings submitted by readers who come up with ''interesting'' takes on certain topics. And professional [[crank]]s like [[NaturalNews|Mike Adams]]. Like ''[[The Huffington Post]]'' and ''[[Truthout]]'' before it, ''OpEdNews'' has fallen into the trap of trying to set itself apart from the [[mainstream media]] by allowing its writers to spew all sorts of [[conspiracy theories]],<ref>[http://www.opednews.com/articles/9-11-official-story-doubts-by-Gregory-Patin-120925-516.html 9/11 official story doubts becoming more mainstream].
