So I guessed right. That’s a shame. I don’t remember anything “right-wing” or particularly political at all from the site though. ---

About two decades ago there were about a dozen or so websites or blogs posting anonymous new blind items about various celebrities. Now there is only one left posting them consistently—Crazy Days and Nights. I don’t know how accurate ALL of the stuff they post are but they were were “reporting” on rumors about Harvey Weinstein, Bill Cosby and Puffy Daddy years before the mainstream media broke the news about thm. ---

Stupid question - what does “blind” gossip mean? ---

From [Wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blind_item), “A blind item is a news story, typically in a gossip column, in which the details of the matter are reported while the identities of the people involved are not revealed.” ---

How does that work? “A hip hop mogul from New York who once had a big hit that contained a Police sample allegedly has sex parties that involve illegal activities.”? ---

Perez Hilton only seemed to have items about such-and-such [actor, musician] being closeted gay, which I couldn’t give a damn about.
