| | Digg started as tech news site, but during 2007, a political section was added, which resulted in increase of politically-related articles and also attracted large amounts of far-left oriented [[liberal]] users, many of them being fanatical supporters of [[Barack Obama]]. Since then, Digg has (along with far-left political sites such as Daily Kos and Huffington Post) became one of the Internet strongholds of anti-religious, [[anti-conservative]] and [[anti-American]] propaganda. [[Liberal hate speech]] is rarely sanctioned by Digg's staff while accounts of some conservative or [[Republican_Party|Republican]] members were banned simply because they continuously expressed their opinion (which usually offended liberal fanatics to the point they started flame wars, often ending up in insults, mockings, or even death threats towards conservatives). During [[September]] of 2008, almost all political stories reaching Digg's front page from its [http://digg.com/2008_us_elections/ U.S. Elections 2008] section were smears or lies about [[John McCain]] or [[Sarah Palin]]. | | Digg started as tech news site, but during 2007, a political section was added, which resulted in increase of politically-related articles and also attracted large amounts of far-left oriented [[liberal]] users, many of them being fanatical supporters of [[Barack Obama]].

| − | Since the 2008 election, Digg has continued to act as a mouthpiece and aggregator for extremist [[liberal propaganda]]. Prior to [[Barack Hussein Obama|Barack Hussein Obama's]] inauguration, for example, several popular pieces on the website were written by apologists for [[drug abuse]] and [[addiction]].
