ABC has really gone into the toilet, journalistically. That's most clear, of course, with The Note, but a lot of their supposedly straight reporting is just unvarnished Rove talking points. This story is supposed to be straight coverage of YearlyKos, right? So who do they interview? Why, a conservative blogger, of course. And what comes out of his mouth the very first thing? The wingers and media's worst fear -- that the Democratic party will listen to its base. Oh also, that Dems are negative and have no ideas. Oh yeah, they also quote that 'liberal blogger,' Ann Marie Cox. But not a single Kossack.
Blogger Bryan Preston of the conservative blog HotAir.com said the blogging movement is for real, and politicians should take note.
"It probably will play a big role by hurting Democrats that try to move to the center," Preston said. "If you read the right-wing conservative blogs, well, they're all about ideas, whereas liberals do nothing but snipe and gripe at George W. Bush."
