The Most Ironic Thing About HuffPo Yanking Cenk's Piece Yesterday... This Paragraph

[WillyT]

How the hell are we supposed to point out the problem if we can't mention the issue for fear of being charged with political exploitation? Would it be exploiting the tragedy of the BP oil spill to point out that maybe we should be a little careful about oil drilling? Or are we not supposed to make the most obvious points so that we don't offend the other political side's delicate sensibilities?

Thankfully... the piece has been picked up by many others.

1. I tried to post a very very polite comment to Ariana's own piece

complimenting her post, but also asking her to reinstate Cenk's post since it would be helpful to consider several viewpoints.

My comment was never even posted. I honestly don't tend to comment on websites, but took the time to register and to make sure I was extremely non-confrontational and polite. I've since read that her reviewers hardly post any comments. I've also heard that Ariana has rejected even some of Thom Hartmanns pieces... I am pretty appalled.

10. So Ariana is protecting her old Rightwing buddies?

She is definitely part of the establishment and the establishment has issued the order to all of its members, that 'Both sides' must share the blame.

The Right Wing Noise Machine is part of the establishment. That is why they are protected, no matter what they do.

Only right leaning Democrats are welcome on the MSM. Cenk will either have to abide by their rules or he won't have access.

12. Commenting on a problem.

And commenting with the same vitriol is different.

It makes sense to comment on what you see that is wrong, just not as part of a game for some other purpose, but for the better purpose of showing them and others what you think some should not do, or should do.

To comment on the miss use of some language in elections, not with anger at those using it, but to help them and some that hear that stuff, is speaking differently. And many in media and other places speak of topics about correcting the wrong methods done to influence people. Some comment on it just to score points against an opponent. If the intent is to go against the vitriol, and support better ideas, that does not load the anger. If the intent is to put a group down, or hurt another group for some reason, then it is the same loading of different side concepts.
