Much depends on either who owns the website and/or who is managing it at that time. Maybe they’ll change managers a year or two down the line. Policy/protocol changes seem to happen quickly for certain online news or social media sites. Think of what Parler has gone through over the last year.
I honestly don’t know what to expect from them now.
I definitely hear what you’re saying.
Years ago a guy named Stefan Sharkansky launched a site called soundpolitics.com to chronicle the theft of the 2004 Washington state gubernatorial race. Right-minded people, desperate for a conservative voice in the local media flocked to his site and it was soon the #1 source for politics in the state (actually in all of Washington state).
That kind of prominence comes at a price and it wasn’t long before the leftist zombies beset the site. Sharkansky attempted to provide an open platform for discussion but the zombies were interested only in disruption and ultimately Stefan shuttered the doors.
MyNorthwest emerged in the wake of Sound Politics’ departure with a “baked-in” audience. All they had to do was provide content. They did (sort of) but fell victim to the same leftist swarm.
(Why is it that conservatives rarely ever stand their ground?!)
What remains of MyNorthwest is the Melba Toast of journalism. They actually have some good producers there but they rarely deliver.
