I doubt this'll last.

"Ninety-five percent said they were familiar with CNN, and 90 percent with Fox. Sixty-four percent said they were familiar with HLN, the sister channel to CNN."

Wow, 90 percent really?

[muppetfromhell]

"familiar with" doesn't mean "like". A lot of liberals are aware of Fox.

"Lean Forward" for a network that airs prison shows all weekend long.

Might as well be, "Bend Over".

/Sorry, had to be said.

[haruhiko]

No need to apologize. "Bend over" fits their news/pundit shows as well as their weekend shows.

Three... two... o- yep. (I wanted to see how long it's be before someone typed what I was thinking.)

Moment I saw the advert I thought the article was going to be about MSNBC making inappropriate sexual harrassment jokes.

I am twelve. :/

How can I go about posting this piece of news (trigger warning: contains descriptions and a really horrifying photo of police brutality and physical assault). It's from tumblr about the assault and arrest of a queer woman, Pony Black, by cops.

Sorry to hijack your post, OP. =/

I'll discuss with the other mods and let you know asap. And just for future reference, there's an open post on ontdp_mods where you can leave a comment that'll get sent to our inboxes so we'll be sure to see it. :)

I totally forgot about that comm, sorry about that. Thanks for the response.

You could probably post it the same way you worded the comment, so long as the triggering content is beneath a cut or in a link. Seems fine.

I'm not sure I like the whole "Lean forward" thing. It's just not catchy as is pretty bleh. I just don't think "news" when I hear "lean forward." I hear "Microsoft trying to rip off older Apple marketing"--it just feels like a bad copy of something.

And maybe it's just me, but I'd prefer "Opinions should be educated" over "Opinions should be earned."

YES.

[haruhiko]

HDU "educated" is something an elitist librul would say~

[poetic_pixie_13]

Are you implying that people should actually have background knowledge of the issues they're talking about? I fail to see how that could be useful. -_-
