Who decides which videos are on the home page of DU?

[Balderdash]

Because for months it's been Barak Obama all the time. Or if it's Hillary, it's some rude bs video, like, "Big Dog Whimpers". When did DU decide who the nominee would be? When did DU decide to disenfranchise half the Democratic voters? Are you, DU still asking ALL Democrats to contribute to this site or just the ones voting for Obama? Are you going to answer my question or will my thread be locked? I guess either way my question will be answered, eh?

1. The videos that get the most recommends, I would imagine

n/t

[Balderdash]

3. Nope

Some of them didn't even have any recommends.

[cbayer]

2. I think, though I may be wrong, that the videos are put up as they are posted.

That is, the ones on the homepage are the most recently posted.

Saying that, it is merely a reflection of the population.

DU has not endorsed either candidate but it has attracted an inordinate number of Obama supporters and Clinton detractors.

6. It's hard to tell

because the first things that you see is Yay Obama and hateful stuff about Hillary.

[cbayer]

11. That's pretty much what you see on the greatest page as well.

It's tiresome and has only gotten worse as the primary has gone on. Clinton supporters are unmercifully attacked if they post anything positive about her and most have stopped posting at all.

[blogslut]

8. Or perhaps it is based on

Whichever video is at the top of the main video forum page?

[cbayer]

12. I just compared them and there is no resemblance.

I just always thought it reflected the most recently posted.

[blogslut]

13. Then it must be a conspiwacee

:hi:

[cbayer]

15. Yep!! It's probably that evil EarlG! Run for your lives!!!

:hi:

[Balderdash]

17. I looked

and could find no reason like first in or most looked at or recommended. I would just like to know if DU does has not gotten behind a candidate why does the front page look the way it does and it has been that way for months.

[cbayer]

19. Don't you think it's a reflection of the population? nt.

[blogslut]

20. You are aware there are more Obama supporters here

...than Clinton supporters, right?

One final guess, comments. Perhaps the thing is based on comments. Look, there's no conspiracy. I would imagine that the videos that get posted on the DU front page are based on some innocuous standard such as views or comments.

36. I hope that you are right

and thanks. :)

4. Way'at dawlin'

7. Is that the one which is worshipped by

[Balderdash]

10. Hey Swampie

18. You're a good one

and I could never stay mad at a fellow NOLA lover.

33. I've watched it about 10 times since I bought it 2-3 months ago.

My favorite movie since "Brazil."

5. I 've been noticing that as well. DU used to be the place to go

for democratic videos...not anymore. Now it is a campaign site for Obama.

[Elspeth]

9. Yeah, it sure seems like that.

But in the end, we'll go with whoever is the nominee.

[Kittycat]

22. That's right it's a conspiracy. If you don't like it - go post some Hillary Videos.

Obama videos are regularly posted her, unlike Clinton clips (in volume comparison). Honestly, there is very little substance for Hillary posted here. It's more talking points and attacking reasons for her to remain in the race. Obama on the other hand always adds a new talking point to his rallies, and his town halls are readily available for sharing - being emailed out directly from the campaign, and posted on YouTube. He's also campaigning against McSame, instead of - again - arguing over rules that were agreed to, and trying to kneecap his opponent within the party.

[Balderdash]

23. Gosh

thanks for being so helpful and friendly. :)

[Kittycat]

28. That wasn't in response to you

That was in response to EEs conspiracy theory.

[Evergreen Emerald]

42. Conspiracy theory? No. I posted a fact.

[SoCalDem]

27. Most of us lined up behind the democratic candidate,,nothing wrong with that

Hillary has loads of supporters who probably have websites devoted to her wonderfulness...most of us have moved on to the general election mode and see her as an ex-candidate (a particularly odd one, but still an ex-candidate)

She's hanging in there on borrowed money, and as long as the faithful want to send her money, I guess she can keep on making speeches and following Obama around throwing shit at him..Eventually she'll run out of places to go..

Save your pennies, she'll be hitting y'all up for some big bank soon..she wants to pay herself back, and she has to do it before the convention..and of course Mark Penn is owed millions too....better order more checks..

[Balderdash]

34. "The" Democratic candidate?

This is why I'm asking because I can surely leave this board and leave this party. But I thought we were all Democrats but maybe I'm wrong about that. And there are still, whether you like it or not, 2 Democratic candidates running. This board is going to look a lot like the Democratic party after all is said and done, not much to look at or be a part of, that is a shame because all the nastiness that comes from some Obama fans doesn't say much about his Unity thing.

[grantcart]

31. Yeah I don't understand that either for example every day they have

a thread for Obama to put in all of the news articles for the day and they never have any for Clinton. Its not fair. I think you should complain about that too.

[dbmk]

14. Might be the number of views (under a date limit.)

With the top one being the one with most recs.

[indimuse]

24. this is NOW an Obama forum!

The Obamam fans here don't care about the Democratic party JUst BO!

[SoCalDem]

25. Jesus?? n/t...Ceiling-cat?

:rofl:

winning does have advantages :)

[Philipsanchez]

26. The moderators choose which video they want to be in the front page

Recommendations have nothing to do with the selection. I hope I anwered your question.

[FrenchieCat]

29. Not you.

[City Lights]

32. Ya might want to pose your questions to Skinner:

[e-mail]

:hi:

[Balderdash]

35. Thanks

I'll give that a try. :)

[Joe the Revelator]

37. Right Wing conspiracy, obviously...

do you people even realize how absurd you sound?

[AlCzervik]

38. I do. You're welcome.

[BlooInBloo]

39. sonofabitch! I was about to say that!

:P

[Elspeth]

40. Ah, snarky and immature.

You're out-lowering yourself.

[AlCzervik]

41. a sense of humor, get one.

[Forkboy]

43. Me.

Live it, love it, learn it.

[billyoc]

44. Not you.
