Yes this ad trying to destroy the democratic process was actually linked on a so called progressive website. I could be wrong but I doubt even people who want to kill the bill out of principle on the left don’t want to block the democratic process. I really don’t know what to say but this is way too over the top.
Please keep this in Speakers Corner.
KQ those ads are not even the worst I’ve seen at Huff Ho’. I think I mentioned once that I was reading a story there about the banksters– and it made special mention of the terrible credit card practices of Bank of America. As I was reading that, a pop-up from B of A appeared, offering me a credit card!!!
I think Adlib probably explained it. Those are Google ads and I am privileged to be part of a site that refuses to run those.
Yup I know what you mean the hypocrisy is what gets me too. It’s like HP has a bunch of stories on using reconciliation to pass healthcare and they let this ad show. Just like with the banks and the ads you saw.
People have been mentioning the ads as of late over there, and someone said that it was strange that they went against HuffPosts politics.
I said, how do you know they go against what Arianna might be turning it into?
Maybe she doesn’t have any ideology, but just hates whatever president is in office at the time?
I’ve seen a lot of those comments lately — which is good. I often post that it’s a mistake to consider it a progressive site — it’s a commercial site.
Now I see this ad on the DailyKOS front page. Disgusting.
Hey Kevin. Good to see you. I saw you over a talkingpoints memo. it was good to see you.
I can’t even go to Huffington Post anymore. I never post there but now I can’t even go to see what the stories are because every day it’s one bad picture of Obama worst than the ones before. I hate to call her names but Arianna is a bitch. A total bitch. I wrote to them a few weeks ago because they ran a story which was totally untrue but certain to cause an uproar which it did. I told her she was doing more damage to our cause than the thugs.
I did not get a response of course. TPM has a tendency to run some of the stories too and I have given them a piece of my mind. I guess they all want those clicks and the more sexy the story, the more clicks.
Hope you are well.
The site looks great. Really impressive.
Looks like we are down to the Countdown for health are.
Be well, Regards to all.
Just post the link to the pov image…
This looks like one of those Google Ads. HP runs a lot of those — they’re randomly generated, but they tend to be right wing propaganda. I remember during the general election, there were a lot of Google Ads on HP supporting John McCain.
We killed the possibility of using Google AdSense for The Planet in the test phase.
One of the first ads that came up here was promoting Newt Gingrich’s book. I canceled it immediately (which is why we’re dependent on the kindness of our members for helping us cover expenses).
It’s an all or nothing thing, if you go with Google AdSense for ad revenue, you have to accept promoting horrible right wing ads.
For us here at The Planet, that was not acceptable.
And the Planet deserves another contribution for making that decision to keep our eyes from seeing such horrors!
That could be your next donor drive instead of holding a precious kitten hostage, show us examples of right wing horror ads!
You’ve saved us already from seeing ads for “Going Rogue”!
Now that’s what I call not selling out for sake of principle. Huffy doing it I was not surprised by at all but DailyKOS was like “et tu Brutus”.
I would think if you were as big a customer as Huffy especially you could demand a certain type of ad.
Hey K, I’ll reserve judgement until I can see what I’m looking at when the PlanetPOV gremlins have been caught and arrested for being D&D. 🙂
Me too, Kalima– I see nothing yet, but it seems Nellie can. ❗
Maybe K can add a link for the short sighted? 🙂
Looks like our Planet is acting up again: No images appear for Time Out/OT or for KQuark’s new post “A New Low for Huffy.” Also, the Help and other buttons are gone. Is Adlib still working behind door number 1?
No, behind the curtain as the Great Wizard of Oz!
Hey! I got this message when I tried to watch:
Watch it on YouTube. No fair, google!
I copied and pasted straight from YT, but didn’t try to watch it after I dropped it in here. Sorry, but it does work when you go to the YT link.
Boomer, I think it has something to do with Adlib’s working on the site. But I did go to YouTube, even though I could tell what the vid was, just because it made me happy!
Yes he is and we ask for everyone’s patience please while we get a few glitches sorted out. Thanks everyone. 🙂
Thanks, Kalima.
Hey, tell him to bring back the Edit post. I make so many mistakes, that I just love that feature
Sue, you have an edit button under each comment. I just used mine so it’s still working. If your’s isn’t, clear your Cache and restart your computer, that should fix it.
