Where you could express views that were NOT unbiased, and toss in some funny items of interest. It was something that went hand in hand with other outlets, and most subscribed to BOTH entities. It was never intended to be a journalistic equal or competition to the other site. In my opinion it was like the "Opinions section of a local newspaper, or the "Dear Abby" section, where one could break from the straight shot reporting and have fun. If these people think that was competition, Id hate to see them in charge of a newspaper like the New York Times...they'd fire the comic strip writer if they drew a strip that had anything of current events in it.
