DU Mods Batting for Obama/Censoring Posts Critical of the President

[OneAngryDemocrat]

First they moved a story, yesterday, detailing the piss-poor reasons why Obama didn't prosecute Bush and cheney for torture.

Then they moved a breaking news story, today, that the administration would VETO any bid by Palestine for statehood, and another that said that CIA rendition was still taking place under the current administration.

Censorship is SO ugly, moderators.

1. So sorry you don't like the rules

Perhaps you should start your own site.

3. I never saw a "rule" that said the President can't be criticized...

...or that news articles crtitical of the Administration couldn't be posted.

9. You can't be serious. Posts critical of Obama are practically

all there is here.

4. what rule states that mods can censor posts they don't agree with?

I think we need a bit more commitment to free speech around here.

13. Moving a post is not censoring it

It is putting it where it belongs.

2. In!

6. start your own website.

7. They're going to lock this.

I think there's a separate forum you can post in to discuss this, and there's at least an "ask the admins" forum.

[Scurrilous]

8. You're right!

You are angry.

10. Why don't you correspond privately with the mods or Skinner...

or post in the administrative forum to get clarification. I too would like to see what the policy will be, given 9/11 is nearly upon us and there will be all kinds of related posts.

11. BEcause DU is all about personal outrage, and what posters hope is showing off their credentials

however petty it really makes them look.

[ellenrr]

12. boy some of the folk here are real syncophants,

Doesn't your mouth get tired - with all that sucking up?

I'm with the OP - no censorship.

Altho I have seen posts critical of the pres.

14. Locking
