Civilian, the site is definitely biased, but not partisan. It's biased in favor of personal liberty and meritocracy, yes. But it's not anti-government or anarchist.
The idea behind DAG is that you can quickly spot where the trouble areas in government are, be they people or bureaucracies. If the site has wide enough readership, being named on DAG could eventually become a political scarlet letter.

If TheDailyWTF.com was instead called "Dumbass Programmers" and promised to help people "quickly spot where the trouble areas in programming are" it would be simplistic to the point of tedium. The real problems are not simply a matter of someone being a "dumbass", that analysis is just self-serving pablum.
