If there is a difference of political agenda, RW or Lib that is hard to 
tell when you look at the content of the forums. Some posts there are as 
bad as it gets across the Web.

They would gain more visitors (and ad and subscription revenue) than 
they would lose by eliminating entirely all that insufferable political
ranting; that would be easy to do with stated policy and enforced OT 
rules, a quick solution, become apolitical, i.e. about homesteading
exclusively.

I bought backwoods home at the newsstand for a while and it was good, 
like a mother earth news clone but quit as soon as the political crap 
began to appear regularly, the signal to noise ratio dropped too far.

politics than surviving on a homestead.
