Does every sports board have someone who copy and pastes seemingly every post by the Drudge Report, regardless of how few replies it gets? The Atlanta Falcons Message Board has a guy who goes by Deisel, and you guys have Smashmouth. Anyone see this on other boards?

INB4 I'm called an evil liberal Obama supporter or something like that.

Sorry for being an ignorant swede but what is the Drudge Report?

SmashMouth

Glad you could come by and contribute, Radical. And good question, btw...

The Poli-Sci section was recently created with the very intend of segregating political discussions and discourse. As this is a new board, or a new section on this board, there has to be content. To be clear, I do not lean one way or the other; if you had to peg me, call me a fiscal conservative. In this current political climate, there are many issues needing much attention, in case you hadn't noticed. The preponderance of coverage from the news media leans left and has been leaning left for many many years. It is really recently that there has been some kind of competition to challenge what is perceived and purported as mainstream. The internet, which Al Gore seems to think he had a hand in it , has opened up many forums and freed up speech, to the chagrin of the left. On occasion I will post opinions. The majority of the time, however, I will post content from already published articles from various sources (Drudge, HuffPo, MSNBC, CNN, Google News, Fox News, etc ...) both left and right depicting dichotomies and strong points, sometimes with a bit of humor and levity. Those articles are most times better and more quickly articulated than I could do in the spare time that I actually have available to me.

I am not sure what emanates on other boards, so I could not comment on that, nor am I interested in those other boards.

You are welcome to contribute. We simply ask that you provide some supportive links to your point, whatever that may be.

Here you go, Crusader.

Drudge is really a catch all of articles published across the internet. There are at times some content that it generated.

Radical

A Republican talking point dispenser.

Danno

Oh, so you are an evil liberal Obama supporter.

No worries, that's typical of Falcon fans.

Kind of like the New York Times, The Washington Post, CNN, MSNBC, The Los Angeles Times, etc., etc., etc., are Democratic talking point dispensers.

Radical

I don't follow your logic... the last guy I supported had an (R) in front of his name, but didn't go by John.

Radical

You know, I don't watch or read any of the above, nor am I a Democrat, but there is a CNN feed on the Google homepage. Somehow I doubt a Democrat talking point dispenser would post titled...

"The Romney surge: Why his polling numbers keep rising. After months of criticism, much of it from fellow Republicans, the machine managing Romney's presidential bid has him gaining support in the final weeks of the race."

Not saying CNN and most media sources don't have an inherent slight to strong left slant, but if the Drudge Report is a response to "left wing media," it would be like shooting someone in the face twelve times for accidentally tripping you.

For the fans, by the fans. - AtlantaFalconsTalk

You seriously don't see the severe left wing bias in that title? You truly are a Falcon fan.
