Following closely on The Huffington Post's announcement Monday that AOL will acquire the website for $315 million, Markos Moulitsas, creator of the left wing political discussion website Daily Kos has announced that it is selling the site to Rupert Murdoch's Fox News for $630 million. Fox News CEO Roger Ailes issued a followup press release stating that he feels that "the price of the DKos site reflects the fact that the quality of writing is at least double that of the on-line articles at The Huffington Post."

Ailes also stated that fans of the site can "expect only very minor changes in the content, intended to raise journalistic standards."

Among the changes expected are that:

1. Fox News commentator Glenn Beck will take over the regular feature This Week in Science from regular DKos contributor Dark Syde.

2. Cheers and Jeers will maintain its northern wilderness flavor, but will change its title to Hisses and Boos, Also and pass from current writer Bill in Portland Maine to someone named Sarah in Wasilla Alaska...

2. You had me wondering why Dennis Kucinich was involved in this

Maybe it's just me, but "DK" doesn't automatically make me think of Daily Kos. I'd be inclined to use "Kos" for the short form and leave DK to the politician.
