FOX NEWS: "Questions"

Before proceeding with questions promised in the Opening Posts, at Democratic Underground, about Faux News, there are some more important questions to consider:

First question: kpete has been posting great Opening Posts at DU, since as far back as I can remember. For a very long time, those OPs "climbed up the Greatest Page like a squirrel being chased by a dog."
Why does kpete need to create several OPs to even get a few thousand readers and less recommendations than ever before?

Your Opening Posts are better than ever. Hang in there, kpete!

Second question: NanceGreggs writes so well it makes me jealous that I lack her talent. I can remember when Nance got dozens of replies, saying things like "another great OP, thanks." For years, the top spot on the Greatest Page seemed reserved for NanceGreggs.
While both the OP at the top of the Greatest Page and the one by NanceGreggs, mention a quote by Teflon Don about being a "Pu$$Y grabber," NanceGreggs appropriately put the tRump statement in quotation marks. Readers should review differences in the use of punctuation by both writers.
Why does NanceGreggs rarely reach the first position on the Greatest Page, in recent times?

Now, for a relative newby, called real Cannabis calm, who appears to deliver current or "breaking" CNN news every day, although I could have used examples of several newer real Democrats, who have kicked and recommended OPs of others, until they got a chance to create their very first Opening Post, only to be ignored or criticized for minor issues. These new members, of D.U. are often very good. And they deserve better treatment.
Why do OPs by real Cannabis calm and even newer members of DU get nearly no replies and why did the readership of his/her OPs mysteriously vanish?

Your Opening Posts are better than ever. Hang in there, real Cannabis calm. Many readers at D.U. would rather read CNN News instead of Faux News commercials, not so cleverly disguised.

Please compare the writing - especially punctuation - of this O.P. to the article written by NanceGreggs.

Now for the question about Faux News OPs:
Why do ANY real Democrats find what's happening at Faux News interesting?
Why is quoting from an obvious right-wing source allowed at Democratic Underground, when it was against our rules, until recently?
Which real Democrat could watch or read Faux News articles, without feeling nauseous?

Now, here's some information about Jeffersons Ghost. I stand for defending the U.S. Constitution against ANYONE willing to ignore, destroy or distort these rules of law!
I will defend the weak, the oppressed and underdog, with every fiber of my being.
I read the Greatest Page from the bottom to top and check for recently hidden OPs on page two and three, in the General Discussion Forum, where I found the OP by NanceGreggs. Hang in there newbys and keep real Democratic ideas alive at DU!

I have a theory on lots of what I am seeing at DU. But it's about conspiracies and would be more appropriately posted at the forum called "Offbeat" in the sub-forum, called Conspiracy Theories. I will post it there tomorrow.

You provided links to several other original posts on DU. Why not post the ‘Faux News’ link?
