There’s a movement afoot by prominent pro-Clinton diarists at Dailykos.com.
“We are going on strike and taking our writing elsewhere. When and if our beloved community is once more a focal point for Democratic election discussions, we will gladly return.”
…..Daily Kos and Markos himself no longer adhere to this purpose of electing Democrats. Daily Kos has become an Obama community and discussion of other Democrats is not welcome. We Clinton supporters are continually attacked and even threatened. The atmosphere has become so poisonous that we could do nothing else but take our discussions elsewhere. Places like MyDD.com where Clinton and Obama supporters chat without name calling. Heated discussions sometimes, but we tend to stay respectful of our fellow Democrat’s opinions. Our post is currently up on the Recommended List so we must have tapped into something a lot of others have been feeling for quite some time.
Writers Strike at Daily Kos? Try a Readers Strike…
Want to make sure the folks running dKos take notice of your concerns? Stop hitting those pages in big numbers — yes, even checking for new comments counts as a new page view for advertisers — and believe us, they’ll notice. That is, if you believe getting at their bottom line is useful towards getting them to behave more responsibly — and more progressively — over there.
[Full Disclosure...since we believe in such things, even if the owner and front-pagers at dKos do not...
We've had our own recent run-ins with the gate-keepers there who have inappropriately attempted to marginalize The BRAD BLOG and other Election Integrity advocates a number of times in recent weeks with inaccurate, defamatory, unsupported and evidence-free allegations, even while they've had their own undisclosed, highly-unethical, interest-conflicted reasons for doing so in several such cases. We don't wish to re-hash it all today, but you can peruse the matter for yourself in great detail via our Daily Kos category, which offers a number of articles describing the disgraceful, irresponsible and self-destructive record of behavior of many of those in charge of the once-important dKos daily machine, including Markos Moultisas himself, and some of his front pagers such as Dana "DHinMI" Houle, who was, until recently, the chief of staff to a U.S. Congressman from New Hampshire.
Houle's embarrassing lack of disclosure occurred while he was busy hurling childish insults and inaccurate accusations at those of us who'd accurately documented massive failures in NH's unforgivably bad election system, which he was furiously defending by abusing his powerful position to offer wholly misleading information to his readers.]
Like I been saying, Daily Kos = Daily Pos
This is yet more validation…
