Examiner.com just sent out this policy change to its local writers. Many states and localities (Karl Dickey in south Florida, Garry Reed in Dallas) have "libertarian Examiners." It's easy to imagine the climate of Obama censorship created by FCC regulation of the internet and The Department of Justice subpoenas and ga orders against reason magazine and its readers being involved in this. It will be worth measuring whether politically incorrect Examiners don't get "whitelisted" and Hillary and Obama supporters do.

Over the past several months, Examiner.com has gradually put more emphasis on content quality. Weve removed content, coached a variety of writers, and weve reduced the number of topics we choose to cover. Now we are really excited to take the next step and increase this important focus with you!

Effective immediately, we are implementing a standard content review process. This process will include revised guidelines that we will enforce for all content published to our website.

How does this affect you?

This new policy will affect each contributor differently. By default, contributors will be set to review, meaning we will look at your content prior to your work publishing live to our website. We have scheduled our staff accordingly, and will strive to review each piece of content within 30 minutes, on average.

The Whitelist Team

Many of you have shown us that writing high-quality content is second nature. Those selected for this group will be notified individually and will be a part of our whitelist team. People in this select group will continue to publish directly to the website without review. This is the group we encourage everyone to achieve and we will help guide you there.

For now, new Examiners and those who have not yet demonstrated an ability to meet our guidelines will continue to have their work reviewed until they can be switched to a non-review status. We will be regularly reviewing contributors for inclusion on the whitelist.
