The threads I am looking at in GD read like The Daily Mail. Where's the political discussion? We lost Joan Mondale - a great Democrat and great American - and her film and post has only 3 recs and is pushed way down in GD, while there are endless Woody Allen and other bizarre threads.
What's happening?

(19,288 posts)I hadn't heard about Joan Mondale. May she rest in peace.
I posted a little blurb in the Idaho group when we lost Bethine Church. Narry a comment or rec. I attended the memorial this Saturday but I didn't post about it, I know no one would give a rip. Mostly because it is me, I suppose, not her.

It all depends on what thread you are looking at.

Sorry if I overreacted, but you have to admit, GD does look very, uh...tabloidy today.
