This is why I must go to non-DU sites to get the news.
I admit, I was getting lazy and simply checking DU to get a quick goings-on in the world. Today, I had some time to check out another oldie-but-goodie, commondreams.org. I found this Matt Taibbi article about the new head of the SEC. I was under the impression that Mary Jo White was a courageous choice for the head of the SEC:

1. DU is not a bad launching pad for bringing certain items onto the radar screeen.
It's a mistake to believe much of what you read here.
I do hope you are cross checking the commondreams story with interpretations elsewhere. |

13. Thanks! On edit: I did see this, but just glanced at the first few replies
and quickly determined that it had little to do with Mary Jo White, and everything to do with Faux news. The latter of which I've completely lost any interest.

4. Yeah, because there weren't 40 posts flogging Mary Joe White and promoting that article yesterday

11. Missed it. Guess I don't have time to scour DU like you do.
Love the insults. I see you're doing your part to keep DU classy.

8. While I do find a lot of news and info on DU it's not a "News" site, here are suggestions.
So it's no surprise you should have to leave the site to get news. Commondreams is good, I like The Nation, TPM - Talking Points Memo, and Salon.com if you're not familiar with them they all have great writers like Matt Taibbi.

10. We don't write the news...
It's all coming from us surfing other sites and posting here. If you see something good - share it!

15. I trust the President over Taibbi.
Taibbi has to bring controversy to a decision where there is none to keep his target audience happy.
