Hmmm. I used to see Daily Kos quoted with a fair degree of frequency in a number of websites I scan but I can't recall anyone quoting him in the past six months or a year or maybe more. He just seems to have disappeared off the radar screen. Markos Moulitsas (to use his full name) was fairly left wing and a strong advocate of the Democratic party and seemed to be fairly well regarded on the left side of the spectrum. Much as Ezra Klein is today.
Is Daily Kos still even published? I click on the masthead to go to Daily Kos home, expecting to see that perhaps they ceased publication some time in the past year. But no, the first post is dated with today's date, November 9, 2014.
So they are still published. Why then am I not seeing their posts more frequently linked. What has changed in the past six or twelve months or couple of years?
I don't know but perhaps a sampling of the most recent post headings might suggest a reason.
President Obama must seize this moment and stake his claim to historical greatness by Laurence LewisNothing by Kos himself. Is he not writing now? Did his falling out with Hilary Clinton in 2006 lead to his ostracism by other sites? Does his coverage just lack audience or relevance?
