ThinkProgress, a top progressive website operated by the liberal think tank, Center for American Progress, is shutting down on Friday after a 15-year run.
The decision was made after the site was unable to find a buyer. The Center for American Progress (CAP) has tried to sell off the website after operating for years in the red, according to The Daily Beast.
“Given that we could find no new publisher, we have no other real option but to fold the ThinkProgress website back into CAP’s broader online presence with a focus on analysis of policy, politics, and news events through the lens of existing CAP and CAP Action staff experts,” Navin Nayak, the executive director of the Center for American Progress Action Fund, wrote in a message to staff, according to The Beast.
“Conversations on how to do so are just beginning, but we will seek to reinvent it as a different platform for progressive change.”
About a dozen ThinkProgress employees will lose their jobs. They are being provided severance packages through November, and will be covered under the non-profit’s health plan through the end of the year. read more

What happened to Soros? Did he stop?
Kind of wished Rush Limbaugh created a front company and bought this place. Imagine the surprise when it went back online and are met by a picture of Rush’s smiling face and a booming “Welcome friends, to the New New World Order”
This is Jon Pedosta’s disinformation website that he used to program the evening news.
Formula: misrepresent or invent what a Republican or conservative says based on what you infer that they WANTED to say that only they can hear with their dog whistle, present it as a direct quote, crank up the outrage to 11 and go scalp huntong or boycotting.
Now do Raw Story and the Democratic Underground.
Conspiracy theory: a Koch brother dies and ThinkProgress folds 30 days later. Coincidence?
Bob M: not intentionally.
They were shut down because so many other commie sites were getting more bang for Soros’ bucks. All those America hating, limp wristed commie faggots will be absorbed by former competitors. Many will become honorary professors hired by universities.
Bye Felicia!
