“We struggled with the decision,” says Robert Bluey, the Signal’s editor in chief. “But we ultimately decided that there was no way our small, ragtag team could do it justice, against the bigger sites, and we were better off doing other things well.”

Yes, a presidential race is just too newsworthy for your plucky little site.

We are, however, enjoying your ten-part series on The Mushrooms Of Angola.

"How one political news site decided to stand out: By not covering the 2016 race"

In this day and age...they can "identify" as anything they want to be.

So a small team with no ability to cover a national election ‘decided’ not to, and so Trump is awful.

Got it.

..no Hillary Clinton stopping at Chipotle.

....and no mention of the two massive FBI investigations into the lying criminal’s illegal use of a personal internet server to conduct sensitive government business and her illegal pay-for-play “charity” foundation.

No wait actually NONE of the media is reporting on that stuff.

Great idea, but they look and smell like GOPe to me, which is pretty disappointing.

Kind of like running a Beatles site and refusing to mention John, Paul, George or Ringo.

wellll ignoring a lot of the daily and weekly “horse race” makes a lot of sense for everyone.... there is too much of that

but the idea that a “political” publication should not cover the issues of the 2016 election is bizarre....

There seems to be a quiet time going on. Nothing from Beck, Mitt, most of the candidates, etc. They’re working behind the scenes. And many of the news sites are not carrying any Trump news...unless it can be spun negative. And just last week, my Congressman announced he will not be attending the convention. and he is also a delegate. Wimp. I have never seen such a concerted effort against a private citizen in my whole life. A man who stepped out of his obvious comfort to try and make things better. And the mob wants to do nothing less than shut him down, politically, pile on frivolous lawsuits, character assaults, you name it.
