The one above that has a flippant throwaway line at the very end of a piece that otherwise has ZERO criticism.

That's even more telling. Thanks for the links. freshwest Jan 2013 #26

Good catch - everyone should read your post suffragette Jan 2013 #88

Well, there does seem to be a following via recs. demmiblue Jan 2013 #28

I'm beginning to recognize the style of such threads.... FarPoint Jan 2013 #30

I've edited the OP to show the critical slant of each article. n/t michigandem58 Jan 2013 #21

Very telling. freshwest Jan 2013 #13

Did you confirm this for yourself? Of the 3, only one was critical of President Obama. Luminous Animal Jan 2013 #15

This is how they make PBO look good on the debt ceiling? michigandem58 Jan 2013 #16

Joined DU the night of the first debate, huh? alcibiades_mystery Jan 2013 #20

Actually, I'm defending PBO here michigandem58 Jan 2013 #24

Yeah alcibiades_mystery Jan 2013 #27

I don't see that as criticism in a political sense. Luminous Animal Jan 2013 #22

"despite his rather abysmal track record so far." michigandem58 Jan 2013 #25

Sure, it's critical. truebluegreen Jan 2013 #73

Yep, one is news Doctor_J Jan 2013 #23

Trolling for clicks, IMO michigandem58 Jan 2013 #33

The Dems control the US Gov't at this point. FDL is critical. You don't like criticism. Big deal. leveymg Jan 2013 #34

Put a sarcasm tag Aerows Jan 2013 #36

OK. I had to go take a look. bvar22 Jan 2013 #35

I respect your post Aerows Jan 2013 #37

Exactly, it's like asking "Why aren't you more critical of dog shit?" whatchamacallit Jan 2013 #40

I think FDL is half pumas and half losers who need attention snooper2 Jan 2013 #38

You realize how dumb that sounds? n/t demmiblue Jan 2013 #42

No, it's actually true... snooper2 Jan 2013 #44

Sure. n/t demmiblue Jan 2013 #46

That's it? Just sure? you must have something deeper to say about the chart than that! snooper2 Jan 2013 #53

Not dumb. A firebagger is a teabagger looking in a mirror. Both are fucking intolerant. bluestate10 Jan 2013 #51

Bipartisanship means never having to say "I agree with them." blkmusclmachine Jan 2013 #43

So? Why would that bother you enough to post about it? KoKo Jan 2013 #45

Their relative lack of stories criticizing repugnants is puzzling michigandem58 Jan 2013 #48

Their whole purpose is to criticize Republicans...and when Obama or his Admin leans KoKo Jan 2013 #50

That's how I read them as well. JEB Jan 2013 #61

That makes sense to me. After all, President Obama is in the White House. JDPriestly Jan 2013 #47
