Charles at Little Green Footballs has an interesting post about leftwing journal In These Times and the ludicrous assertion that blogs on the right are part of the rightwing 'message machine' and the lefty blogs are free from such tainted sources. As Charles says, this is in fact exactly the opposite of reality.
Daily Kos is a notorious paid Dean lackey, Josh Marshall names his 'All Social Security, All the Time' insider blog Talking Points Memo (not ironically, I might add), Atrios gets his paycheck from radical billionaire George Soros, Oliver 'Like Potatoes to a Big Steak' Willis is so dirty with insider [cookie?] dough that he's a walking conflict of interest...I could go on and on and on...Michelle Malkin is a media figure, as is Hugh Hewitt, but I know of no rightwing blogger who gets 'talking points' that are then relentless run over and over and over, a la 'The Coalition of the Faint-Hearted'. Ridiculous, but typical of the 'Big Lie'...
