Hmm, I like the new heading. I don't like the name – sounds like moderate mush. Like people who don't have the courage to be progressive or liberal. Like people who are going give a version of Republican lite. Half of the bad stuff is still half bad.

"We are not beholden to ad dollars or advertiser agendas."

Right; that's what zipity said. It's common knowledge that this is a George Soros enterprise, and although the new paint job George has sprung for is great and all, it's still a George Soros enterprise.

BTW: This was a missed opportunity to quietly lose that hilarious "Code of Ethics"...save yourself some ongoing humiliation, ya know?

MnIndy! Gotcha.

Noticed in my Account settings, I can not select “America – Minneapolis”. I settled for Chicago (sigh). Maybe not a big deal (only used for time-zone?) Anyway, site looks fab. LOVE the user profile pages and links to user-content.

Ah, “Zippity,” nothing like chastising someone for a typo. You know exactly what I meant. Not to mention the fact that people who live in glass houses…(You might want to check your own comment before mocking my typo.)

Priss-meyer! I love it! Thanks! It's not quite as good as “Pre-school-Meyer.” But I'll gladly take it.

Boxcar, it's MnIndy! Not to be confused with Mindy or “Mork and Mindy.”

Changes look really good– presentation-wise and commenting. Nice work. It will take me a while to embrace the re-branding… (MinnMon = MNIndpt) Have you made t-shirts yet?

Zipity: Clueless as to the meanings of “independent” and “alternative.” We are not beholden to ad dollars or advertiser agendas. Unlike mainstream news outlets, the Center for Independent Media is a non-profit whose only agenda is to encourage citizen journalism and engagement, independent thought, and critical thinking. Your name calling encourages to continue. Thank you.
