You guys are noticing how the BSers are getting around the no front page thingy.

Skinner announced nothing from GDP would hit the front page of DU.

So...they simply use Video and the Good Read forums to bypass it.

Sorry Skinner... It ain't working.

Mr Skinner said it's silly season

The front page of the NY Daily News is a lot more to the point these days!!!!!

If DU doesn't wake up and get with reality, it will lose the tiny bit of credibility it has left!!!

The Front Page doesn't seem to be 'all Bernie all the time' or bizarre Hillary Hate spew.

GD-P and the USUAL SUSPECTS are buried and DU seems a little more like a thoughtful Democratic website.

When the primary is realistically over very soon, we'll get it all back!

Their candidate is losing and has no chance. It's basically all they've got.

They're aware, but playing Whack-a-Mole with silly people is just a waste of time.

It's like when you have a child having a meltdown, sometimes you just gotta let it run it's course. Thje next thing you know they're curled up on the floor with their favorite blankie, napping peacefully.

I notice there are aren't any pro-Hillary articles at all in Video & Multimedia, at least at the moment. There seems to be a disproportionate ratio of frenzy between the two sides, doesn't there? It's not the pro-Bernie posts I mind so much on my front page. It's the bile-spewing anti-Hillary hatred that I can't stand to see in headlines when I visit DU. That said, it really is still so much better since Skinner blocked those groups from the home page. He's right about whack-a-mole and I can tolerate a couple more months of this.
