Is Slate a right wing site? There is an article that heard about on the Michael Signorelli show.

That should be published about Facebook and censorship

I check them out every couple of days - they often have interesting articles.

It's nowhere near click-baity as Raw Story.

But it definitely commercial.

If I recall correctly when it started it was a partnership with Micrsoft.

Kick in to the DU tip jar?

This week we're running a special pop-up mini fund drive. From Monday through Friday we're going ad-free for all registered members, and we're asking you to kick in to the DU tip jar to support the site and keep us financially healthy.

As a bonus, making a contribution will allow you to leave kudos for another DU member, and at the end of the week we'll recognize the DUers who you think make this community great.
