An open letter to the Huffington Post

Dear Huffington Post,

Can you give us a break with putting the fight for the Democratic Party nomination on the top of your page please? Seriously, we've already got the Drudge Report and the other corporate media doing their best to keep that bit of news in front of the American people. Could you do us all a favor and use your allegedly progressive soapbox to hightlight the fact that Bush McCain is now the Republican nominee?
Would it kill you to do stories on his flip flops and how he has left the center of his party and moved to the far right? How about a few more stories on how he has backed off his stance on waterboarding and torture and is now in support of the Bush administration's illegal and immoral position? Or maybe you could do a months worth of stories on how he is the same as Bush.
Perhaps instead of insinuating that the Hillary Obama fight is causing huge rifts in the country, you could remind people that McCain is the Washington lobbyists best friend and that lobbyists run his campaign. Just for shits and giggles you could go after his "maverick" image that it turns out he has shed in order to become the Republican nominee.

And one more thing while I've got you, how about you do more stories on how the gap between the haves and the have nots is widening even as I write this little missive to you. And if you feel like it, run a few more stories on how most of the people in this country want universal single payer health care for all and that the people who oppose it are big pharma and the insurance companies.

I'm gonna stop reading you if you don't lay off the Democrats and start laying into the Republicans right this second.

Yours truly,
Dr. Monkey
