Digg (and other sites) ultra-right gaming
Ha-ha, conservatives for free speech and all:
A large conservative group has been attempting to game social websites, like Digg, to bury progressive articles (and any articles submitted by those they deemed liberal -- anybody not hating Obama or science or anything else except for a very selected list of topics, such as creationism and the like).

Whether I agree with Bjornski, Anamaly100, PhilPerspective, Novenator, JanineWallace, UncaJoe, & a couple others I can’t think of right now, I bury `em anyway. *ACTUALLY* each of them has been “dead-on, balls-accurate” (an industry term) at least once in the past week or so, and it sort-of pains me to be dishonest by burying them anyway, but then I remember . . . I’m not up for re-election!
