Whine of the day: Conservative Banned by Digg


If new, social media will be the way many people find their news then conservatives need to use them to connect to fellow conservatives and promote conservative stories. Digg is the big player in the social news space. Gop3.com’s Brandon Henak urged his readers to start using Digg. Yesterday, Digg banned his account “due to misuse.” Read his tutorial to see if he did anything to “game” Digg. Getting conservative stories on Digg doesn’t guarantee others will vote for them. He didn’t organize a voting ring to manipulate votes. Brandon just said his readers could “digg all the interesting news you see with the knowledge that you are promoting oft ignored conservative news and opinions to millions who may never have seen it.” I don’t see anything wrong and think it was stupid of the company to turn off him, his readers, and possibly a lot of conservatives.

And you should see the kind of other trash they put up as "news"
