On Fri Jul 18, 2014, 07:49 PM an alert was sent on the following post:

Yo, RT-USA haters, it's called FREEDOM OF THE PRESS, listen and learn
http://www.democraticunderground.com/10025258306

REASON FOR ALERT

This post is disruptive, hurtful, rude, insensitive, over-the-top, or otherwise inappropriate.

ALERTER'S COMMENTS

Great example of dishonesty: the "50 recs" thread referred to merely was an opinion calling RT an unreliable source. http://www.democraticunderground.com/10025256967

This thread is crazy, over-the-top flamebait and callout, echoing right wing Duck Dynasty apologetics. Nothing worth discussing. It's because of a broad brush accusation that DUers are "against the basic principles the U.S.A was founded on" and support "other horrors."

JURY RESULTS

You served on a randomly-selected Jury of DU members which reviewed this post. The review was completed at Fri Jul 18, 2014, 08:10 PM, and the Jury voted 4-3 to HIDE IT.

Juror #1 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: Flamebait. Why this passion for RT on DU? It's propaganda pure and simple. The Op clearly needs to study up on the meaning of the First Amendment and how it applies to a private site.
Juror #2 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: the discussion following is enough.
Juror #3 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #4 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #5 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: This thread should be in a straight jacket.
Juror #6 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: Mr Corruption is invited to return to the underside of the bridge from whence he came.
Juror #7 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: No explanation given

Thank you very much for participating in our Jury system, and we hope you will be able to participate again in the future.

I was #1...
