Jan. 16, 2007, 6:58 p.m.'hybrid social news approach that Netscape spearheaded'
The Definition of HYBRID is Created or manufactured????
This is exactely the Problem with Jason Cacanins, CK 'Jason Jr.' and their incomptant Anchore Staff...
The Key to the miserable faliure of the New Netscape is the fact that cannot be Fair and Balanced????
Their new Concept is developed on Misleading, Onesided, and Bias reporting???
Netscape User's deserve better....
Jason Calacanis, CK were either Fired or left Netscape on their own???
What does that in itself tells you somthing about their dedicaton... If they believed in their product why, did they leave all of You Netscape users???
Regardless how they were removed it is a very good move for Netscape User's..
Mabe, just mabe the Netscape Management will correct this Garbage they created, HYBrid, Ya Right...
Sincerely,

Jan. 16, 2007, 7:15 p.m.Hybrid refers to the platform and has nothing to do with any purported bias of the netscape navigators. There will always be some level of bias -- good, bad, or indifferent -- on any news publication the world over.

Jan. 16, 2007, 10:35 p.m.I agree that when editorial judgment comes into play, there should be transparency about the intent and bias behind it whenever possible.
By the way, I don't work for Netscape, ike!

Jan. 16, 2007, 8:56 p.m.I sure as hell hope LIBscape does not represent the future of news. If the overwhelmingly one sided perspective of Netscape is what we can expect in the futre God help us all.
The irony is the Liberals for years have screamed about censorship, but as we have seen with the rescent scandle here involving netscape employees censoring/sinking conservative articles/comments, these type media outlets can't be trusted to be a credible news source.

Jan. 16, 2007, 9:30 p.m.Again, the piece has nothing to do with political bias. You could hire an all-Nazi editorial staff tomorrow (how's that for Godwin's Law?) and it wouldn't change the innovative platform that Netscape has produced, combining user generated submissions and voting with admin selections and content.

Jan. 16, 2007, 9:45 p.m.I use netscape as one source of information to try to make sense of what goes on.That there is a bias one way or the other i accept as a matter of course.I like it that I can find the other side of the story to the rants of the right.What I need is as much fact!! as I can get.If I decide that I can't get that here I will seek it elswhere.
I f netscape can't do a better job of it than my local paper does than there is no point.

Jan. 16, 2007, 10:20 p.m.I hardly consider this to be a place to gather the news. Rather it is a place to read, learn, and debate issues of the day. If I want actual facts, I won't come looking here. Most of the "stories" submitted are from wacko sites that have the writers keeping thier heads completely immersed in a dark place. Netscape is far from being a credible news source. I feel that they are trying to create something that just isn't there.

Jan. 16, 2007, 11:04 p.m.I like the idea of gathering news and ideas from around the web and localizing them in one place.
If Netscape could just fix their browser.

Jan. 17, 2007, 9:15 a.m.When I was a young boy my mother gave me some very good advice that is important, especially in todays information rich internet world.
"Don't believe everything you read in the newspaper" Today she would say "Don't believe 90% of the crap you read on the internet it is not news it is opinion"
News should be reported not produced.
The car came down the street. The ball rolled in the street. The boy ran after the ball. The car struck the boy.
today
The fossle fuel burning global warming SUV turned the corner. The registered republican, who cares nothing about the environment and is a christian conservitive who was driving the the gas guzzler pays less in taxes because he is rich ran over the boy who's loving parents are heading up the group "Environmental Stewarts of the Earth" where quoted "This would have never happened if we would not have invaded Iraq to steal the oil".

Jan. 17, 2007, 2:22 p.m.It is really neat to have an opportunity for the cost of a computer and a connection to be able to gain some exposure,to be able literally to see what some folks are thinking and where their coming from,and the amount of info. available is practically insurmountable. Get published with no travelling expenses and comparitivly little expense.Find out whats really going on.(or get closer to it).A very usefull tool. NO complaints here.

Jan. 17, 2007, 2:39 p.m.If the future of news is where pseudo intellectual liberals post left wing consipricy theories and articles of 10% fact and 90% hatred of the political right then god help us all. The posts here are just hillarious. Thanks to netscape I would never have heard all the good info about how the WTC disaster was done by Bush, and the great war for oil articles, or the endless Bush sucks Bush sucks rants. Personally I am center left, but this site is just dominated by crack pot FAR lefties and a good portion of the articles posted here shouldn't even be called opinion, much less news....more like manifestos of lunitics.

Jan. 18, 2007, 6:44 p.m.And since Netscape is so great, a large number of members have gone to - trustserve.net -to escape the Leftist bias. This new site was such a threat to Netscape that Search would not find the site. I had to go to Yahoo Search to find it. Luv, ZG, Psydoc and a bunch of others who are fed up went there. Tell them Taganan sent you.

March 29, 2007, 12:01 p.m.Yea, "member controlled" by those on Netscape's payrole as revealed in the other story on this forum!
The corporate fascists will always find a way to influence public opinion by pulling the wool over the people's eyes.
Well, they don't so much as pull it as offer Dagmar a lamb to distract him as he humps it with his eyes voluntarily in the wool. They long ago learned to use people's own desires against themselves!
