It's turning into CNN-lite. Seems to be trying to be moderate now or some shit.

1. Nope, haven't gone their since the AOL merger. Why should I contribute hits to right wing
institutions. That is another reason I block faux from my house also

2. Arriana was never a true Democrat
She was a conservative republican for years and pandered to the left for business.

I'm still amazed how many people from DU that think of the site as a legitimate news source.

4. I also noticed that Ariana has been missing from the talking circuit
of round table discussions. She use to be on the DR show about once a month, MTP at least once a quarter, and a slew of other shows. But since the merger and the criticism she has been strangely absent. Well, maybe it's not that strange.

8. I think her personal politics are sincere -- but she also got greedy
Edited on Sat Mar-19-11 02:51 PM by Armstead
A lot of people don't like her because she commits the heretical sin of criticizes President Obama and the Democrats as well as the GOP.

That's an unfair knock on her, because I think her personal politics are basically very progressive and -- like Obama, actually -- she believes that it's important to go beyond the straitjacket of ideology labels.

Unfortunately, I also think she jumped the shark by merging with AOL. I suspect the thought of gaining more money and power blinded her to the implications (and hypocracy) of such a move.

But that kind of double standard is not limited to her. A lot of people who do crappy things in business give to and support liberal politics and worthy causes.

10. Lately? It's sucked for a long time.
I think they're trying to compete with Matt Drudge.
