Hope this isn't a dupe.

I feel like I'm a pretty tolerant person, but I'm done with the whole former Gawker media group. I'm not going to link to the article, but they've started a division who's sole purpose is to undermine the Presidency. Yes, I know that they've always been a very liberal arm of an already liberal media, but now they are pushing their radical liberal agenda upon the readership across all of their publishing platforms.

I mean, all I wanted was a place to read about tech, automotive, and gaming related news, but it's all been so infected with their political trash that I'm just done.

I don't know if any of you feel the same, or maybe a lot of you have already made this decision, but I'll be taking my views elsewhere. And if anyone decides to start an unbiased media group where I can read about tech and cars, let me know.

I stopped giving them pageviews a few weeks ago. I've found a few different alernate sites and don't miss them at all.

Exactly! They always had some pretty good car articles, but the political BS is just too much now.

It has definitely gotten bad this election cycle.  Ever since Gawker got their butt handed to them, they have been extremely left wing.  I have a few of the blod that I read every day (Kotaku, io9) but it gets harder and harder.

I decided the same thing with Ars Technica.   It really sucks because I'm a geek and I was on the site when it was founded.   But since Conde Naste took over (its recruitment director comes courtesy of a Soros org), Ars Technica has added an entire "lefty" slate of reporters and articles and implemented the "swarm rating" system that hides comments of anyone that gets shouted down by the herd of leftists.  

I'm not the only old school member that's noticed ... it used to be very much a libertarian type of site.   But yeah, they don't get clicks from me anymore.

Yep. I'm not willing to tolerate articles on io9 and Gizmodo, sci-fi and gadget/tech sites respectively, going outside their lanes to lambast a lawfully elected president. It has zero to do with their stated purpose for existing. Shit sites like Jezebel? Sure. I expect it.

I made the decision to quit Deadspin about three weeks ago. Frankly, I tired of trying to get legit sports journalism only to have a political spin added when the piece didn't call for it. Almost like they have a daily Republican bashing quota that must be met. I checked back there a few days after the Super Bowl and that reaffirmed my decision. Fuck Deadspin.

We have truly passed into the realm of madness if one must chose either a right leaning or left leaning fucking car blog.

Agreed OP, jalopnik was one of my favorite sites, as was foxtrotalpha before the main editor left for defense review.

Their rabid hatred of Trump is to the level of petty bullshit(70% of what the media reports on him falls into that).

So, they're starting a "tell on trump" hotline and reporting system.

I gave up those sites about a year ago, the none stop liberal bullshit was finally too much.   You could no longer have an article about cars, sci fi, games etc with it being political.

Tech Crunch is another outlet that pushes a political agenda. Uninstalled their app last week. All I want is tech related articles. It's a simple concept but liberals just cannot stick with it. The thread that equated liberalism to Scientology nailed it.

Jalopnick pretty much just been pushing little self-driving electric green golf carts and urban mass transit for a while now. Not exactly the voice of motoring purism.

It sucks.  I loved gizmodo for the same reason, I went there for updates on the tech world... now for some reason they seem to have more political articles than tech related ones.  I head more toward arstechnica now but it seems like they are starting to have bull shit articles in there as well.

And Magary is hilarious even though he's a libtard. The stuff he writes on Deadspin isn't political 95% of the time. I probably check the site once a week though as opposed to daily in the past, and I recently unpolluted Jalopnik on FB because they wouldn't stop cross posting left wing nonsense from the sister sites despite getting killed in their own comment section for it.
