On the front page of DU, I just saw an ad "Donate $5 to send Harry Reid a penalty flag". If you get to the site, it appears to be an anti-obamacare astroturf site.
I don't know what arrangements DU has with advertising agencies, but they might want to boot this ad.

The answer is always "it's the money". There are no ethics when money is involved.

That's what I figure. Let them fund DU. Spend as much cash here as they possibly can.

They paid to advertise on a site where such things will have no chance. DU's revenue gain, their money poorly spent.

Funny how our words can violate TOS but a big old ad does not.

That's what I figure, plus they are paying DU. Works for me.
