I don't know how many fans of Digg.com we have out there, but for those who aren't or those who haven't noticed, there is a definite Obama Bias. Not that this is necessarily a bad thing. After all, Digg is simply reflexive of what users think is important. Obviously, it goes to show that there are a lot of internet using [mostly younger, I assume] people that are for Obama and the polls show it.
To see the evidence yourself, click the above link and go to the tab "top in 24 hours." I would bet that at least 3 of those top 10 stories under that tab relate in some way to Hillary bashing or Obama boosting. For those Obama fans out there, it is a variable paradise of praise and good news. But is this all good?
My personal opinion is that this is not necessarily a good thing. Granted, if you're for Obama you love to hear this, but I think it is only good if you keep in mind that it is only part of the story and that it is a biased concentration that's not reflexive of the general news content nationwide.
My advice, if you're for the Hill, stay away from Digg or tread carefully with a grain of salt. If you love you some Obama, head over and get your daily booster. As for me, I, like a kid with a picture book, just like to click on the stories containing the nifty photos.
