So hypocrisy bothers you less than blatant product placement?

How do we square with that?

Doesn't matter, right, so long as Daily Kos-another-individual is Pro-O?
i'm going to have to say that this is a bit of a stretch

they probably use a very similar ad system like what eric has in place here, many blogs and message boards use similar versions of the same product...the ads are not "preset", but are generated with key words and phrases...my personal favourite here is the stop pc now ad that comes up whenever someone calls me that instead of typing out my full username, and sometimes even that will generate it...

How exactly is it hypocrisy? Just because they run an article critical of the telecoms getting immunity they can't accept advertisements from AT&T? I call that being impartial, which as journalists they should strive to be. Maybe you are bothered because you don't think someone who has accepted money from questionable sources can remain impartial. You may have a point there, let's see those tax returns Hillary. How about the list of donars to your library Bill.

I did not mean the MSM. I meant Mr. Obama and his campaign.

My name is neither "Hillary" or "Bill", but I will agree Ms. Clinton should release her tax returns in due time, just as I believe every presidential candidate has done. The library is another issue, I am not sure what those donors have to do with the presidential campaign.

It is my understanding that a proprietor can manually block particular ads, as Eric did with the Ann Coulter ads that spontaneously "graced" his pages.

Kos is a lying punk asshole who has been rabidly anti-Clinton for years. When she was 40 points ahead he had her polling at only 9 per cent. He's a little dweeb who fears women and has 0 credibility.
But since he's on your side he's OK.
