This article is mostly good and thoughtful, but it misses an important point. Sure, it was a little jarring to see normal news on Flayrah. But what pissed people off so much was that it was so unbalanced. It was so rediculously one sided, and not just that, it also literally urged readers to go out and vote along the lines of the author's opinions. This is typically considered in bad taste ANYWHERE. Unless you're posting your rant on a strictly liberal (or conservative) website, you shouldn't write with such disregard and disrespect for your opposed-minded readership. The author wrote the article making assumptions about the furry audience. Of course we must all be liberals! Of course this helps us furries, because we're all poor! It totally disregards any diversity in our fandom.
