Re: Another one bites the dust

Aside from the occasional objective article, it's no major loss. That's just more proof that Arianna is little more than an opportunistic, saavy businesswoman who was butthurt over her former Republican husband's snubbing.

Bravo to Arianna. She created a place where liberals could tell each other how smart they were and write blog posts without compensation and develop a community to attack the US, its allies, and non-left-wing peeps. And she sold it for 300+ mil. america is about rewarding such ingenuity, and i think she's earned every cent tbh.

I am amused, for the most part, that the regular bloggers on that site didn't make any money (they did it for free so i understand). and she made her money off their backs. you have to admire her dedication to her political philosophy.

Re: Another one bites the dust

it was a different view... alternates are welcome. that is supposed to be the base of a good democracy.
