Why did Soledad O'Brien leave CNN?

I was reminded of how much I like her when I saw this post about her being interviewed on CNN. It's worth reading. And the video is worth seeing.

Why did the black church agree to host Trump?

Does anyone know the background of this bizarre meeting?

Is this really from Trump????

Why does Rasmussen reports continue to be treated...

... like a legitimate polling operation? It is ALWAYS an outlier. And ALWAYS in the Republican direction. Anyway, during this election cycle.

PA - McGinty-D is now ahead of Toomey-R in RCP average.

Is this one of the states we were counting on to take back the senate?

Do you think the start time of the Hillary speech...

... shifted from 1 to 3 (and therefore to 4 or 5, as most of these speeches happen) because they wanted to be sure to follow Trump?

I posted information about getting my computer hacked when trying to log onto an invitation only Hillary site. The post was locked, but if anyone was following, here's the info I got from the company that hosted the website.

RESPONSE FOR PROBOARDS “SUPPORT HELPER”
Hi
You didn't happen to take any screenshots at the time, did you?
Because you mentioned 3 things, perhaps this could explain what you experienced. On the most common captcha , you will get it loading, and then have a 'verify' button. Next, you will be prompted to do something, for example, select a specific image(s), or move an image to the centre, or rotate an image, or something like that. After that, an ad will display. Is it possible that you could you have clicked the ad?

Under the ad, there should have been a 'submit' button to finish the captcha.

MY ANSWER
I no longer have an account at that web site, so I can't show you want I experienced, but what you describe sounds familiar. I had to rotate something. Then I got the ad. If the ad is something that ProBoards supports, then that may explain my experience. I was sure it wasn't a ProBoards thing. I don't know what I did to get "out," but whatever I did it presented a message in the same format as the Verify message asking me to call support at an 8xx number. So it may be the ad site that has been hacked. Or a malicious site that bought ProBoards ad space.
