But - as we were discussing yesterday - this proves dKos is A Playa on the scene.

Murdoch must be furious that someone else is trying to swing the next election.

The rhetoric about hate sites is of course spin and lies. Anyone who visits dKos - who isn't a knuckle-dragger or a shill - is going to see that instantly.

I think Murdoch may lose this one. I'd expect some legal challenges from him - probably about political donations or net neutrality or something equally specious. But he doesn't appear to have the leverage he needs to take down the site.
