New GOP Site Doesn’t Mention Party Affiliation

The new website for the National Republican Congressional Committee “has earned a lot of attention in the past week for its bold new attempt to win the internet and elections by imitating BuzzFeed. On the website today, you can find items like, ’13 Animals That Are Really Bummed on ObamaCare’s Third Birthday’ or a video of President Obama whiffing 20 free throws. There’s more substantive fare too, like a polling memo on the Keystone XL pipeline,” Salon reports.

“One thing you won’t find on the front page, however, is the word ‘Republican,’ except for at the very bottom in a disclaimer box that reads, ‘Paid for by the National Republican Congressional Committee.'”
