One of our helpful readers emailed the evidence that KNBC is asking its readers to rate the station's staffed-up, big-deal but news-lite website alongside little old us:

Thought you might want to know that it looks like KNBC is fielding a poll this morning about their new web site and they're pulling data comparing LA Observed vs. their new site. I captured a couple of screens -- thought you might be interested in their questions. Thanks for doing the site -- it's always a stop throughout the day.

Here's the first screen. Click it to read the questions — I can't argue with the ratings!

Second screen is after the jump.
