Actually, it was a question. I went and looked at the LGF site and didn't see anything. Looked at Wikipedia and they seem to indicate some sort of change in perception but it isn't quite clear. Something about being more issue advocacy rather than ideological site. So it very well may have changed since I last checked it regularly. The wording just surprised me.
