[edit] Post Chronicle

Post Chronicle (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

This site is little more than a dressed up blog. Google and Alexa tests yield relatively high results, but that is largely due to a generic name and a propensity to post unsourced "articles" about celebrities that are then picked up by syndication or aggregator websites. The site has been quoted by a few major news outlets (with lazy writers, apparently) but I still don't think it meets WP:WEB. Just a brief scan of the current front page articles reveals poorly written, plagiarized (compare [(unreliable source - do not use) www.postchronicle.com/news/original/article_21267532.shtml] to [1]), and defamatory articles (Ana Marie Cox is called a "blog skank"[(unreliable source - do not use) www.postchronicle.com/commentary/article_21267637.shtml] ). Their "friend links" page consists largely of conservative and entertainment blogs.[(unreliable source - do not use) www.postchronicle.com/links.shtml] Mysteriously, their supposed "New York", "Washington DC", and "Midwest" offices all share the same phone and fax number. Just not a site that merits a Wikipedia article. -Big Smooth 16:31, 6 March 2007 (UTC)
