I just waded through one of the more contentious diggs regarding the ratings drop at Foxnews. One of the primary complaints about digg is the perceived immaturity of the participants. Although I suspect that I'm a little older than the demographic at digg, I found myself agreeing with their observations of Fox's weaknesses. Also, the ability of voting up or voting down comments, hiding them once they've gone below your threshold.
Look at some of the observations that got Dugg…
OMG FOX NEWS ALLLERT!!! I hate that incessant 'alert' (44)
Too much BS and too boring. Same for CNN and the networks. I can spend 3 mins filling up on 30 stories on the web when each story on TV takes 3 mins. (60)
Fox is terrible, even if you hate liberals and democrats; its so blatantly partisan and stupid it makes you gag (34)
i think jon stewart said it best "a whole network of anchors hired to do the press secretaries job" (37)
It doesn't hurt any that I agree with what is being said, but Fox and Rager Ailes should listen, because Digg is their demographic.
