Reply #23: There are pros and cons to both

I don't think that the Washington Times, Newsmax are very representative of good journalism either, BUT they do exist.. We cannot ignore that fact.

The bloggers you mentioned are only "famous" because they are tied into the cast echo-chamber that is rightwing media (corporate-rightwing-media)..

WE know the path that's taken..

fax/talking points issued from WH/
Operatives online and radio trumpet them 24/7
Corporate media/Fox/Cnn/Msnbc picks up "news" and touts it as "what people are talking about"
gullible people hear it on the radio, see it online and then hear/see it on TV, so "it must be true"..

Liberals have fewer (do we have ANY) venues to spread the word..
