“The journo-propagandists need an online meeting place where they can safely plot to manipulate public opinion and destroy people they disagree with.”
They already have one. it’s called DAILY KOS
I hope you see the difference between a commentary based, public forum like KOS or FR and a secret, members only left wing internet meeting place for public policy makers and their pet propagandists to decide how to actually pull the strings to create the new gulag.
