  • agaiziunas, on 11/14/2008, -4/+242 years of ultra-honed reflexes to digg Obama, kinda like the Karate kid. Wax on, Daniel-san, wax off. Paint-a the fence, Daniel-san, paint-a the fence.

    Digg users need to ween themselves off the Obama-diggoin addiction before coming back to the tech roots of the site.
  • kinseyincanada, on 11/14/2008, -1/+21doesnt he kind of have too?
  • Fabbyfubz, on 11/14/2008, -1/+20BREAKING NEWS: THIS NEWS IS BREAKING
  • DrGFreeman, on 11/14/2008, -1/+20Digg is and always will be hella biased. But that's the point, the algorithm caters to what the people (in this case, very left of center, nerd public) wants to see.

    BUT....calling fox news unbiased will undoubtedly get you dugg down, and rightfully so.
  • mgill3, on 11/14/2008, -2/+20O RLY?
  • godofallcows, on 11/14/2008, -1/+18I dug you up. Then I dug you down.

    Fox is conservative, Digg is liberal.

    If you want unbiased news go to cspan...but its boring.

  • inactive, on 11/14/2008, -0/+15What did you want? Obama to be President and a Senator at the same time?
  • XorpheusX, on 11/14/2008, -2/+16I thought this was from The Onion when I read the headline.
  • ArchAngel21x, on 11/14/2008, -0/+14Buried for having the nerve to put breaking by something too damned obvious.
  • OneLess, on 11/14/2008, -1/+14US Senators cannot vote "present" and Illinois senators vote "present" for reasons other than being afraid to vote. Educate yourself.
  • dieboldcracy, on 11/14/2008, -2/+15I wonder what he's gonna do now?
  • Eiknujrac, on 11/14/2008, -1/+14Why educate yourself when you can just spew conservative talking points?
