Again, I\u2019m not liberal or conservative. I\u2019m dead-center so I was not looking for anything pro-trump or anti-liberal here but it took very little time to find this. I agree. Over 85% of Daring Fireball in the last 30 days has been non-technology. John as editor in chief can do what he wants but I hope he\u2019s not too surprised when less people read the blog. There are millions of places to read politics news but very few technology columnists with honesty, brevity and insight. I only subscribe to 18 RSS feeds about technology and John\u2019s is one. I\u2019m kindly putting it out there that I\u2019m hoping he can leave the politics out.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Via Twitter:\u00a0 Remember when @daringfireball was about Apple and tech?
