Daily Kos is an American political blog that publishes news and opinions from a liberal point of view.〔Kos, (About Daily Kos ), Daily Kos about page.〕〔("Daily Kos's file" ), PolitiFact.〕〔Tommy Christopher, ("Liberal DailyKos And Conservative Redstate Join Forces To Help Ailing Conservative Blogger" ), Mediaite, August 1, 2013.〕〔Jonathan Martin, ("Coalition of Liberals Strikes Back at Criticism From Centrist Democrats" ), ''The New York Times'', December 5, 2013.〕 It functions as a discussion forum and group blog for a variety of netroots activists whose efforts are primarily directed toward influencing and strengthening progressive policies and candidates. Additionally, the site features a participatory political encyclopedia ("DKosopedia"), glossaries, and other content. Daily Kos was founded by Markos Moulitsas (''Kos'' from the last syllable of his first name, his nickname while in the military) in 2002. In 2007, its parent company, Kos Media, LLC, began a fellowship program to help fund a new generation of progressive activists. About a dozen contributing editors provide content for the site, with three to four new editors being chosen from the Daily Kos community every year. As of September 2014, Daily Kos had an average weekday traffic of hundreds of thousands of visits.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 Dailykos.com Traffic and Demographic Statistics by Quantcast )〕 It is financially sustained by advertising, with Google AdSense and Blogads. The ads focus mostly on activist causes, media, and political candidates. The site also offers an ad-free subscription to members. In 2009, ''Time'' magazine listed the Daily Kos in its "Most Overrated Blogs" section. Despite the listing, ''Time'' magazine readers named the Daily Kos the second best blog. The website ran on the Scoop content management system until 2011 when it moved to its own custom content management system referred to as "DK 4.0". == Content == Moulitsas and a small group of select contributors post directly to the front page; other users can post "diaries", the titles of which appear on the front page in reverse chronological order, with special attention and longer display time for those diaries highly recommended by other users. The other major source of content is the comments posted in response to front page entries and diaries. Comments for popular or controversial diaries or front page articles can run into the thousands. Front page entries and diaries often take the form of a news story from an outside source interspersed with commentary from the author of the diary or post. Sometimes these stories contain a request for action from other members of the community, such as to get involved with a particular campaign, give money to a candidate or contact an elected official about an issue. Some front page entries are called "open threads", which encourage people to post comments on any issue. One of the versions of these open threads are "live threads" of commentary on important events happening in real time, such as debates or elections. Administrators have the ability to edit or delete diaries, though this is done rarely. "Trusted users" have the ability to recommend or hide responses posted by ordinary members whose comments they deem solely disruptive. Less than 0.01% of comments are hidden. Daily Kos had previously partnered with Research 2000 to produce nonpartisan polling for presidential, congressional and gubernatorial races across the country. In June 2010, Daily Kos terminated the relationship after finding their data showed statistical anomalies consistent with deliberate falsification〔Kos, (Research 2000: Problems in plain sight ), The Daily Kos, June 29, 2010.〕 and announced its intention to sue the polling firm.〔Greg Sargent, (It's war! Lawyer for DailyKos details lawsuit against Research 2000 ), in "The Plum Line", The Washington Post, June 29, 2010.〕 On November 30, 2010, an agreement to a settlement began as lawyers for the Plaintiff filed a status report indicating that both parties were in "agreement as to the contours of a proper settlement but are still in the process of determining whether the execution of the proposed terms is feasible."〔Kos Media LLC et al v. Research 2000 et al – Filing: 11 (Kos Media LLC et al v. Research 2000 et al – Filing: 11 ) Access date: 23 April 2011.〕 In May 2011, the Huffington Post reported that the lawsuit had been settled with Research 2000 pollster Del Ali making payments to Daily Kos.〔(Daily Kos vs. Research 2000 Lawsuit Settled )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Daily Kos」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
