I can't speak for that because I don't read political blogs and thus don't know their various biases, but I can say that motherjones is one of the most liberal websites on the internet. See also salon. Both are banned. I'll repeat what I said below:

    /r/Politics is a subreddit for current U.S. political news and information only.

Blogs, left or right, don't fit into this. A quick scan of their allowed domains shows that they're mostly newspaper websites, which will potentially have their own biases, but are at least sources of news. It's a news subreddit now.

This discussion continues to be unilaterally irrelevant to hubski.

There is already a sub called /r/news. Politics are pretty much defined as opinion, so blocking differing viewpoints seems extremely biased.

It was in reaction to the joke that r/politics had become, from what I can tell.
