ABC News on the cyber-riot and other troubles at Digg

ABC News reports not only on the cyber-riot at Digg, but also on other serious troubles at the site, including the infamous "bury brigade."

This ABC News article correctly points out that the conservative site littlegreenfootballs has been especially victimized by the self-appointed censors on Digg's "bury brigade."

Unfortunately, the ABC News article omitted to mention that LGF is primarily an antijihadist site. Nor did the article note the revealing fact that antijihadist articles are being targeted for burial with especially relentless vigor.

Apparently, Digg is perfectly satisfied with this coverup of everything that might alert the public about the jihadist threat. Isn't it time to ask why Digg has never made even the slightest attempt to put a stop to this pro-jihadist censorship?
