REASON FOR ALERT

ALERTER'S COMMENTS

Seriously, linking to breitbart.com? WTF?

You served on a randomly-selected Jury of DU members which reviewed this post. The review was completed at Sun Oct 12, 2014, 06:47 PM, and the Jury voted 1-6 to LEAVE IT.

Juror #1 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #2 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: There's nothing wrong with the content of the post other than the link is from breitbart.com. They could have followed a link to that site.

Rather than alert a pm should have been sent to the OP to advise them to change the source. Hiding for just the link site and not the content of the post is unfair. Let's think a little deeper than that on here please.

Juror #3 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: So attack the credibility of the site. There is nothing offensive about the post.
Juror #4 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #5 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #6 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #7 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: Huh? how is this hurtful, rude, or insensitive? Stupid maybe, but come on.

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