ThinkProgress, a top progressive website operated by the liberal think tank, Center for American Progress, is shutting down on Friday after a 15-year run.
The decision was made after the site was unable to find a buyer. The Center for American Progress (CAP) has tried to sell off the website after operating for years in the red, according to The Daily Beast.
“Given that we could find no new publisher, we have no other real option but to fold the ThinkProgress website back into CAP’s broader online presence with a focus on analysis of policy, politics, and news events through the lens of existing CAP and CAP Action staff experts,” Navin Nayak, the executive director of the Center for American Progress Action Fund, wrote in a message to staff, according to The Beast.

The Trump curse takes out another worthless liberal/progressive waste of electrons and air.

Please, someone buy it and re-direct the url to freerepublic.com or donaldjtrump.com. My exact thought; better yet, maybe let The Babylon Bee have fun with it.

Somehow I never thought that was a good name for that bunch. “Think” and “Progress” just did not fit with those people or their agenda. You know. Kinda like “Planned Parenthood” seems to be in conflict with their true mission.

They stained the brand so bad that even the domain name, which is not a bad one at all, is totally worthless.

ThickProgress is a well known as a Democrat outlet. Dems are more devious now and want to astroturf undercover. So the dark money goes to their Black Program orgs now.

The free market works again to destroy a leftist org that existed just to attack its enemies.

As another poser noted, social network sites have to ban conservatives, while the free market bans progressives.
