“Alegre”, a longtime Daily Kos diarist, has called for a writers strike at the world’s largest supposedly-Progressive blog site, due to what she says has become a “hostile environment” for pro-Clinton supporters.
She writes that the place has become “little more than an echo chamber with an attitude that harkens back to the early days of Dubbya’s administration – yer either with us or yer a’gin us, heh!”
We don’t know whether that’s the case or not, since we haven’t much followed what goes on at dKos for years for our own personal, if not necessarily unrelated, reasons.
If you really want to get the attention of a blog owner, however, we’d suggest a readers strike is far more likely to accomplish that goal, since the business model for such operations rely on reader traffic to help set ad prices.
Amazing. It never ends with these people. And the fact is, one is as bad as the other. Yes, you read me correctly. These are Clinton supporters all bent outta shape because the Kossacks are Obama supporters and they’re breaking out the same kind of tacics that the Clintonites have been using for two decades…
[3]Hey, Brad… since the Republicans have been putting up with this kind of abuse for far longer, how is it that you find this stuff so offensive NOW? Where the hell were you back in the early 90’s? I guess it’s OK when the Clintons do it, huh?
You’ll forgive my lack of concern over Kos and his site burning down.
Now, where’s that can of gas?
