Digg goes overboard trying to make THEIR point.

[ToadClock]

Good grief. And they're always the first to point fingers at other biased websites and news sources.

Digg it.

Are you too fucking good for IRC? Is that it Toad?

Son, I was out doing IRCs before you were born. Don't talk to me about IRCs.

[HeinekenClock]

Fuck you Toad, I don't care if it's biased. If Obama wins the election, that would be the best thing the world has seen in the past decades. He could use a little help.

[AMPEEEM]

FFUCK YOU TOAD!

Fuck you Toad, I don't care if it's biased. If Obama wins the election, that would be the best thing the world has seen in the past decades. He could use a little help.

I'm sorry, how is that any different than FOX figuring that if Bush won those past two elections in would be the best thing the world has seen and therefore justifying their biased spinning things as "a little help."
Seems people around here only get upset when the bias is on the other end of the table.
Besides, I used to figure Obama was a great new politician who might right a few wrongs around Washington. Not as blindly or fanatically as most, and I still had my doubts, but I was much too positive about him.
Check out his past. Check out his lies. Check out what he's covered up.
So many people are jumping to put this guy in office without even realizing that they don't know him.

[ToadClock]

Regardless, you're free to like him and vote for him. But don't just say "fuck you" to try to ignore that if a Republican-biased news source spun a story like this about a Republican candidate, everyone would throw a fit, but here are all these other news sources trying desperately to spin a story on Obama that's quite clearly negative and could cost him Pennsylvania, with Digg and other sites trying as hard as they can to make sure people read think this way, and it's just fine?

Obama =/= bush that's the difference.

Also isnt digg based on user votes?
What if the entire digg userbase (young people, generally democrat-oriented) likes Obama?
Makes sense that pro-obama articles would get more Diggs.

I even said "Digg users" on it. How does that change anything?
So they've collectively decided to be excessively redundant and hypocritical in trying to get everyone to see these articles.
You're point?

To be honest no one is going to make america any better. It sucks.

[RabidClock]

America is fucked, there are no good candidates. I think the republicans are going to get it again because the democrats still can't get their shit together whereas the republicans stand fairly united.

[iPodClock]

I'd vote for him just because it's black, and I can't fucking imagine that shitstorm that would come after.

[iPodClock]

HOLY SHIT WE JUST VOTED IN A BLACK MAN

[RabidClock]

I say America breaks up into 5 nations, the Northern US, Confederate South, Texas, Midwest US, and Super California (take Nevada, Utah, and New Mexico but only goes as far north as Oregon).

[joliet_jane]

Having lived in Pennsylvania for 97% of my life, I must say that Obama's comments about the state are very, very accurate.

That fact aside, the inherent problem of "web 2.0" applications like Digg is that no one really controls or oversees them.  The truth is no freer than it was in the hands of mainstream media.
