All that was required of them was a primitive patriotism which could be appealed to whenever it was necessary to make them accept longer working-hours or shorter rations. And even when they became discontented, as they sometimes did, their discontent led nowhere, because being without general ideas, they could only focus it on petty specific grievances. The larger evils invariably escaped their notice." -George Orwell, Nineteen Eighty-Four. This pretty much summarizes this very problem.
- maximumsteve1, on 12/20/2007, -12/+398Yeah because digg is so above this:

I CAN HAZ CHEEZEBURGER
Will it blend?
NSFW - briansearles, on 12/20/2007, -2/+275I know what's wrong.
There should DEFINITELY be an ad in there somewhere. - ani625, on 12/20/2007, -16/+244..and lindsay pissed in the pool. so what? Screw the celebs.
- growlzor, on 12/20/2007, -6/+202This is just sad/an everyday thing in the MSM. I don't understand why people are so infatuated with celebrities. What has she ever contributed to society? Great now I'm mad.
- zaprowsdower, on 12/20/2007, -12/+176Screw Iraq. I'm more interested in the man with blue skin.
- inactive, on 12/20/2007, -7/+108http://news.bbc.co.uk/
- ariez84, on 12/20/2007, -12/+101LoL, so true. Digg to me is NOT a news site, but in the category of comedy sites like SA. All the news that get filtered, and make it to the front page is all biased crap that either:
A) Praise Apple
B) Make Fun of MS (Or Digg users like to put it M$, because you know, A company likes to make money is evil).
C) Ron Paul (Or anything that against any other candidate)
D) Anything that makes fun of religion. (Nothing that show religion in a good way ever makes front page).
And there you have it. Digg: The unbiased source for news. - boobees, on 12/20/2007, -3/+80most americans.... hold on..... SOME americans can't stand this *****. i think
- yfguitarist, on 12/20/2007, -9/+82LEAVE LYNN ALONE!!
- Frei, on 12/20/2007, -9/+74Should we link the Digg front page as well? "iphone, Ron Paul, ubuntu, Ron Paul, Macfanboys, Ron Paul, wii, evil microsoft, more gadgets, Ron Paul, iphone, video of dog farting...video of Ron Paul farting"
People like many types of news, it's your choice to decide what's important. - kingmanic, on 12/20/2007, -4/+67CNN: wagging the dog since 1980.
- inactive, on 12/20/2007, -1/+56that would be the point.
- yutt, on 12/20/2007, -7/+59The fact that Digg is a comparable source for important and relevant news says a lot about the state of our main stream media.
- a2fan, on 12/20/2007, -2/+49I call BS... having travelled extensively around the world, I see this same crap all over the Americas, Europe, parts of Asia and Australia. Same or local celebs, same press. Famous people screwing up distracts average people from worrying about their own screw ups.
- Totalsam, on 12/20/2007, -7/+46CNN=Celebrity National Nonsense
- t1m0j5, on 12/20/2007, -9/+47and I assume the UK tabloids are holy books?
- felman87, on 12/20/2007, -3/+40Digg is the mainstream media now? I had no idea we had journalistic integrity
- sensoukami, on 12/20/2007, -1/+37I'd like to screw quite a few of them...i just don't need them clogging up the Net/airwaves/cable....
- tyywebb, on 12/20/2007, -0/+34"Until the become conscious they will never rebel, and until after they they have rebelled they cannot become conscious."
- tyywebb, on 12/20/2007, -1/+33Wasn't me
- inactive, on 12/20/2007, -7/+36Pretty much summarizes the whole united states.
- fani, on 12/20/2007, -3/+31E) Praise Nintendo and goofy Miyamoto/whoever Nintendo
F) Put down Bush and Govt.
G) Put down anyone who believes in religion and scientology ( I don't believe in either but I feel people should have freedom to believe in what they want including the ***** up scientology )
H) Make fun of Sony/PS3 - Identity4, on 12/20/2007, -1/+29It is now...
- Alfdog, on 12/20/2007, -2/+30punk ass-hypocrites?
- alterImperson, on 12/20/2007, -4/+28I've actually taken to calling kids at my high school Proles. It makes me sad that I'm the only one that gets it.
- shark615, on 12/20/2007, -5/+28Key word TABLOIDS.
The last time I checked CNN was not a tabloid. - yaryarhumphump, on 12/20/2007, -5/+27Bang on... perfect display of what is wrong with the media.....
- rexb, on 12/20/2007, -7/+29CNN = MORONS
- captainchris, on 12/20/2007, -0/+22I) Tasers
- le0pard, on 12/20/2007, -0/+20You didn't read either of those stories that you think are so important, but you sure did watch the video of the "Pregnant skydiver falls 50mph to asphalt"
Does any more really need to be said? - ZenMojo, on 12/20/2007, -3/+23Tell the public what they want to hear and, failing that, tell them what you think they want to hear. Brings them back every time.
- zerobackup, on 12/20/2007, -0/+19I'm an analyst and a therapist, I consider myself an analrapist.
- inactive, on 12/20/2007, -1/+20Journalism seems to be taking the backseat to sensationalism these days.. Sadly
- aparatoc, on 12/20/2007, -0/+18Yeah reminds me of when this happened:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6VdNcCcweL0 - NeoSporin, on 12/20/2007, -0/+18"I've made a huge mistake" - Gob
- rudy23, on 12/20/2007, -10/+28exactly all of you punk ass hypocrites need to stfu.
- porplem, on 12/20/2007, -0/+18http://www.cnn.com/video/#/video/us/2007/12/19/haa ...
I'm blue... - active1x0, on 12/20/2007, -14/+32But...she's hot.
- jpetrides, on 12/20/2007, -3/+20There must be an army of people with nothing to do that actually care about this stuff. If nobody cared, then CNN and everyone else would stop putting all of this crap in their shows and websites. The ratings for this crap have to come from somewhere. There are just a bunch of losers out there who get satisfaction out of their lives through living it through the exploits of these celebs. A depressing way to live if you ask me.
- inactive, on 12/20/2007, -3/+19Yeah, and? A story about topless women playing the Wii got nearly 6000 Diggs, so this site isn't any better. News is a business, and boring-ass stories about Ron Paul and Iraq don't interest the masses, so they aren't going to get talked about. Welcome to reality.
- desmondregan, on 12/20/2007, -3/+18lmfao they removed it
- VictoryGin, on 12/20/2007, -1/+15right now in sky's Other Top Stories section (@ 16:23) there are these two stories:
"Swimming star caught up in nude pics row" and
"How Celebrities like their lunchboxes"
...... I think all news orgs do lame stories - TheOriginalFox, on 12/20/2007, -3/+17I logged into Digg just to digg that comment.
- SLuM, on 12/20/2007, -3/+17The century of self has manifested itself into greedy beings who care not for their neighbors well being. I must admit, the people at the top are quite brilliant, domesticating humans into docile beings.
- spudnic, on 12/20/2007, -2/+15CNN isn't a tabloid.
More comparable to something like Sky News
http://news.sky.com/skynews/home - m0tbaillie, on 12/20/2007, -1/+14da ba dee da ba die!
- zeptobyte, on 12/21/2007, -1/+14Sad in more ways than one.
- decruncher, on 12/20/2007, -0/+13wrong.
both of those headlines were in the same place as the Spears story earlier in the day. -
