[edit] Founding fathers
I've removed the statement "Common Dreams publishes editorials that support their view of the original vision, or "common dream", of the founding fathers of the United States." which was changed to "Common Dreams publishes editorials that support their view of the original vision, or "common dream", of certain of the founding fathers of the United States. Alexander Hamilton, John Jay and James Madison can be included in the list of the founding fathers represented by the group that refers to itself as "progressive."" by User:Son of Man. I couldn't find support on their website or elsewhere for the general claim, much less the specific claim about which founding fathers. If someone has a source for this claim, please provide it. Thanks ! FreplySpang 15:14, 16 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] A few quotes from the 335 articles on Lexis Nexis mentioning Commondreams
From the first 37 of the 335 references to commondreams.org on Lexis Nexis:

Bloggers spear caucus show idea Des Moines Register (Iowa) January 4, 2007 ...The latest, [Katherine van Wormer article] published at CommonDreams.org, likens the Iraq Study Group report and Bush's response to a classic intervention scenario. "The long-anticipated report of the Iraq Study Group has been likened in some media reports to the classic treatment intervention provided to drug users and alcoholics who have 'hit bottom.' ... Characteristic of a person with an addictive mentality, the president responded in a state of denial as do the 'enablers' around him. His supporters are getting fewer and fewer, however." Would the World's Largest Science Teacher's Organization Ignore Climate Change Education? The Democratic Daily November 29, 2006 Today's Guest Post is from John F. Borowski. John is a science teacher of 26 years whose pieces have appeared in the N.Y. Times, UTNE Reader, Counterpunch, Commondreams and many other sites... I wrote in Commondreams.org about this dilemma and three special sentences comes to mind from a July 7th, 2005 piece in which I write an open letter to NSTA Executive Director about the distribution of corporate sponsored materials via the NSTA: In a recent NSTA annual report document, Exxon Mobil (NYSE:XOM) Foundation President Edward Ahnert explains its "partnership" with the NSTA clearly. "NSTA is such a natural partner for us. No other organization has the ability to reach thousands of teachers who share ExxonMobil's commitment to improving science education." The question that begs to be answered Mr. Wheeler is this: can you trust Exxon Mobil? James Eagle trawls through the web to bring you a few of the top sites for progressive international news Morning Star November 18, 2006 Saturday Common Dreams (www.commondreams.org) is handy too, while Information Clearing House (www.informationclearinghouse.info) is a reader-funded site offering "news you won't find on CNN or Fox." 'Sage of Athens' ; London paper credits Harmening as first to make Iraq-Vietnam analogy The State Journal-Register (Springfield, IL) November 7, 2006 Tuesday Type the words "Iraq would become Vietnam 2002," without quotation marks, into the Google search engine, and Wallerstein's piece shows up on the first results page. It is reprinted on the progressive Web site CommonDreams.org, but a subsequent Lexis-Nexis search verified that the piece did, in fact, appear on that date in the L.A. Times. Subtle but pervasive: discrimination against mothers and pregnant women in the workplace. Fordham Urban Law Journal November 1, 2006 See Charlotte Fishman, "Teetering on the Family-friendly Edge": Discrimination Against Mothers in Academia, COMMON DREAMS, Sept. 25, 2005, http://www.commondreams.org/views05/0925-21.htm; Scott Jaschik, Faux Family-friendly?, INSIDE HIGHER ED, Sept. 15, 2005, http://insidehighered.com/news/2005/09/15/ucsb Inside cable news: a conversation with FAIR's Jeff Cohen; Fair and Accuracy In Reportiong; Interview St. Louis Journalism Review October 1, 2006 During this time, independent media were booming. DailyKos.com and"This Modern World" started in 2002 and took off. Web sites like commondream.org were booming. Radio and television shows, like "Democracy Now," were booming.

[edit] Discover the network
Discover the network is not a reliable source. It lacks verifiability from other locations, it has a strong bias, it is rarely corroborated and never cited by other sources. Hipocrite - «Talk» 20:24, 6 February 2007 (UTC)
- I strongly disagree. Also I believe it is the web version of a published book. --BenBurch 20:26, 6 February 2007 (UTC)

- You are correct, sir. I confused it with a book of almost the same title, and as Horowitz has SO many books in print, thought it must have been another of his. --BenBurch 20:58, 6 February 2007 (UTC)
