And Again: CBSNews Knows Only of Leftwing BlogsIt's been long noted that reporters' rolodexes only spin to the left-- it only seems they're capable of calling up left-leaning sources for comment on a story. ("Emil Strachowsky of the People's Institute for Prosperity and Progressivism had nothing supportive to say of the President's plan to partially privatize Social Security, remarking 'What a stupid dick.'") I had hoped that in the age of Young Media, reporters wouldn't find that similar technological defects kept them from noting that not only is the right well represented on the blogosphere, but a case could be made that we in fact dominate it. Go figure, huh? And once again, note: Rightleaning blogs like this one did indeed publicize the faulty exit poll numbers. But we, unlike the leftwing blogs, corrected the record within hours of posting the data, noting that the surveys were wildly unrepresentative and likely faulty. Leftwing blogs -- and the leftist amateur webzine Slate -- did not. Most likely because they either wanted the polls to be true, or because they were hoping the bad numbers would depress the Republican turnout. posted by Ace at 01:01 AM
CommentsIt's just soo effing stupid man. 3 of the top 5 political blogs in the ecosystem are conservative! Insta being #1! CBS continues with tha same ol' shameless crap. Posted by: StreetGOP on November 9, 2004 03:35 AM
Someone else in a comment over at Protein Wisdom noted the following qoute from the article: The public is now assaulted by news and pretend-news from many directions, thanks to the now infamous "information superhighway." They also noted the irony of someone writing at the cBS News website about "pretend-news." As they used to say, it is to laugh! Posted by: Sean M. on November 9, 2004 03:49 AM

One of the theories about that NYTimes Magazine piece was that they were linking the idea of the blogosphere to kooks like Kos and lightweights like Wonkette in order to discredit the whole thing. Discredit the blogosphere and you've discredited your competition. About the same time someone predicted that someday there'd be a blogosphere scandal of some kind and the MSM would leap on it like jackals. Posted by: Brian on November 9, 2004 04:35 AM
I would guess that once they found someone in the newsroom that could show them what a blog was, the example would have naturally been one that was left-leaning. Heaven forbid they mention a blog in their story and someone happens to visit it and, you know, get a different opinion... The MSM: reporting for less than half of America since 1980... Posted by: Jack Grey on November 9, 2004 06:26 AM
Realize that these mentions on the MSM end up driving traffic, or will drive traffic. Someday, KOS will be known as the blog mentioned every night on CBS and Ace will be known as the guy with the jug of Val-U-Rite Vodka. I think they're giving intentional, advertising shout-outs to fellow travellers in the hope that said fellow travellers end up dominating. If you don't mention the righties, they don't exist. Won't work, but that's what I think they're up to. Posted by: AndrewF on November 9, 2004 08:06 AM
And you missed the money quote from my post. As a matter of fact I said to myself, "How come Ace isn't commenting on this? What would Ace say?" "Who the hell thinks Wonkette is a leading political blog? It's like saying the National Enquirer is a leading political paper or that Montel Williams is a leading political talkshow!!" Man, I should really become a blog impressionist. Posted by: Rusty on November 9, 2004 09:50 AM
Rusty, I didn't want to swipe your stuff. Besides, I think it's kinda arguable that Wonkette is in fact a leading political blog. A leftwing one, yes, and a kinda-stupid one, but still, she's bigger than you or me, buddy. Posted by: ace on November 9, 2004 11:33 AM

ANOTHER LEFT WING ASSASSIN ATTEMPTS TO KILL TRUMP
If I understand this, the left-wing Democrat assassin attempted to get into the White House Correspondents Association dinner, and was stopped at the magnetometers, which detected his gun. I guess he pulled out the gun and was shot by Secret Service agents. Erika Kirk was present.

Important Message from Recent Convert to Christianity and Yet Super-Serious Christian Tuq'r Qarlson: Actually Muslims love Jesus, it's Trump and his neocons who hate him
Tucker Carlson Network Trump's trolling tweet was ill-advised, but Tucker is just lying when he claims the Christianity-hating President of Iran was "offended" by this. He's one step away from announcing his official conversion to Islam. He literally never stops praising Islam. Well, he suddenly became Christian two years ago, there's not much stopping him from converting again. You can track Tuq'r's official conversion to Islam with this Bingo card.
People say that the bearded man in the video of Fartwell molesting a hooker looks like Democrat Arizona Senator Rueben Gallego, said to be Swalwell's "best friend" and known to take vacations with him.
@KFILE 21m So the campaign is collapsing due to the truth of the sexual harassment allegations. That hissing sound you hear is the air going out of the Swalwell campaign. UPDATE: No it wasn't, it was just Swalwell one-cheek-sneaking out a fart on camera Eric Swalwell more like Eric Farewell amirite thanks to weft-cut loop.
