I personally witnessed him go into the threads of some very popular progressive writers after they were attacked by what always seemed to us to be Right Wing trolls and take the side of the trolls (we later found out that many of them were political operatives posing as ordinary people) and as if that was not enough, launch insulting attacks on them, using language that up to then I had only seen coming from Right Wingers against Liberals. We knew then that Progressives were at a distinct disadvantage on that board.
He has pretty much purged all of the great Liberal writers who initially attracted Progressives to DK. It certainly wasn't the FP since that was basically status quo, boring online MSM quality.
But that revelation you just linked to, plus so much more that came out over time, and his sudden jump from 'poor guy with a blog living in a tiny apartment' to millionaire, well, put it this way, I would take nothing he said too seriously. He had plenty of operatives going the board trying to explain those revelations. They worked hard to slap down any questions or criticisms of him.
Military/CIA/Republican/Henry Hyde 'liberal blogger'. Lol, it just didn't compute!
