I agree with you that it's a bad site - at best, it's sloppy journalism - at worst someone's paying them off. I've written at length here about ERIC - of course, since I'm not TGP, it didn't get much attention. Soros isn't running our elections - Omidyar is. They're protecting him.. TGP won't even let me post comments on their site anymore (although this could also be disqus.) But over the years, I've contacted the Hofts and their parent company numerous times, and they didn't respond. I'm pissed as hell about whats happening - The plan is to placate us so that we think everything's ok. They think we're idiots - let's not prove them right.
