Liberal web sites will have no impact on electorate.....
Well, according to the piece below taken from the CBS web site (http://www.cbsnews.com/sections/opinion/main215.shtml) it's all over but the crying for liberal sites. What greater authority could we have but the Weakling Standard?


Blogging Alone

While the fervor over conservative blogs has died down since the 2004 elections, liberal sites have retained a loyal flock of readers, but the Weekly Standard does not see these left-wing pages making an impact on the general electorate.

_____________________________________

Taken from Wikipedia:
The Weekly Standard is an American conservative political magazine published 48 times per year. It made its debut on September 17, 1995, and it is owned by Rupert Murdoch's News Corporation. It is viewed as a leading outlet of the influential neoconservative movement. Its current editors are William Kristol, chairman of the Project for the New American Century, and Fred Barnes.

It is very popular among United States President George W. Bush's administration. According to Vanity Fair (July 2003; as quoted by Ben Bagdikian in The New Media Monopoly), the office of Vice President Dick Cheney alone receives a special delivery of thirty copies.

We'll just see about the electorate.

5. Two things about the Liberal Website BS
1) It's just an "opinion piece"

2) The Weekly Standard !?!? (nuff said!!)

3) It's a bunch of crap.

(Ok.. that's three things ;) :evilgrin: )
