I was on dKos (Thumb) since before Kos moved to Scoop (Banned in 2016). Something I learned about Markos that helps to make sense of how and why dKos operated they way it did - Kos, by his own admission, is CIA. http://kos-cia-transcript.blogspot.com/2010/05/markos-c-alberto-moulitsas-zunigas-cia.html

"So, [in 2001] I applied to the CIA and I went all the way to the end, I mean it was to the point where I was going to sign papers to become Clandestine Services. And it was at that point that the Howard Dean campaign took off and I had to make a decision whether I was gonna kinda join the Howard Dean campaign, that whole process, or was I was going to become a spy. [...] I think their hearts in the right place. As an organization their heart is in the right place. I’ve never had any problem with the CIA. I’d have no problem working for them." ~ Moulitsas ZÚÑIGA at the Commonwealth Club, June 2, 2006.

And then, like magic, as soon as he graduates from CIA training, DailyKos suddenly becomes the Internet's largest home for "left" activism.

Was coming here to say the same thing, he's CIA. Moulitsas even banned a prominent poster on his site for writing about a book review of a book written by two members of Congress. In the book they wrote about frustrations they experienced in carrying out the 9/11 Congressional investigation, and how they felt they were in some ways thwarted. Neither the book review nor the dKos member even asserted this was true, that the investigation was scuttled in some areas -- it was just "Hey, there's a book out, interesting these members of Congress took the time to write this.". Instant ban, not even other prominent people could get it reversed. You do not question the narratives the CIA places in the news if you expect to stay on dKos. Being banned is a badge of honor.

❝. . . utterly exhaust humanity with dissension, hatred, struggle, envy and even by the use of torture, by starvation, by inoculation of diseases, by want, so that the GOYIM see no other issue than to take refuge in our complete sovereignty in money and all else.❞
