7. What are the most influential outlets for opinion and calls to action?
Can you go by ratings and circulation alone?

Is O'Reilly more influential than Olbermann?

Is Kos more influential than Huffington Post?

Is DU more influential than Free Republic?

(Drudge is just a scandal sheet, I guess.)

Seems like the more the merrier. Variety is the spice of life even as it factionalizes the electorate.

And, of course, it's more than elections which are sought to be influenced.
