Time to discard the facade that what I posted was actually a either Humble or an Opinion, then (as well as to ask you to forgive me for misleading you):

In point of fact, I am not wrong.

Well, in the first place, their URL has “http://” in it TWICE. Most websites only get one.

May explain why it doesn’t work.

I read the whole OP.

I actually gave Rush Limbaugh a shot long, long ago. I didn’t like his attitude and stopped listening to him. I stuck with _National Review_ for far longer.

I think often we’re loyal to a given kind of publication almost out of sheer familiarity.

I wonder if there’s a difference in the amount of ads bought. I used to get a dizzying amount of email from MoveOn and Progressive Turnout Project, but when it comes to World Wide Web political advertising, I seem to see a lot of right-wing ads. I see the little “I’m With Her” boxes for Hillary Clinton, of course. I think I’ve seen the odd banner for one or two state-level Democrat candidates. But Google/YouTube keep showing me video ads for kind of obnoxiously right-wing Republican state-level politicians, and I don’t know exactly why. Do they spend more? Does Google assume that my ZIP Code is heavily GOP, so I am?
