Left-wing bloggers are just as mad as the right-wingers are at the MSM

The question I often wonder is “Does anyone actually care what some random internet person with a Blog thinks?”

Apparently.

@Weirddave

Or facts I suppose. I notice you just walked away from the last thread we were both in when you couldn’t document your claims. At least RTF admitted he had no proof before quiting the thread.

Ah, second GD thread in a row where I get to point out you’re a liar.

You’re a liar.

Righty bloggers question the civic value of journalism as such.

Except as a rightful tool of those in authority to keep people in line.

Oh, and Weirddave? If you want to respond to something I said in one GD thread, the appropriate place is either (a) in that thread, or (b) the Pit.

I certainly don’t, but your results can and probably do vary…

No, very few people care what a random internet person with a blog thinks. Caring about someone like that is like caring about what Ward Churchill thinks.

But we’re not talking about random people with blogs; we’re talking about those who’ve been able to build a following. The three people I quoted, one’s on the conventional airwaves, and the other two are pretty well known in Right Blogistan, and show up on the blogrolls of people you have heard of, such as Michelle Malkin.

Are you speaking, perhaps, of this thread, where I went on posting a bit longer than you, and where every single thing you posted that can be classified as an assertion was either false, opinion, or meaningless?

Sorry, who? (I’m not joking).

Wikipedia to the rescue.

Michelle Malkin (born October 20, 1970) is a prominent American columnist, blogger, author and political commentator. She is a social and political conservative.

She makes frequent guest appearances on national syndicated radio programs and on television networks such as MSNBC, The Fox News Channel, and C-SPAN.

…

Malkin’s column, syndicated by Creators Syndicate, appears in over 200 newspapers nationwide as of 2005. She is also a frequent commentator for FOX News Channel and occasional contributor to the VDARE.com editorial collective. In June 2004 she launched a political blog which quickly became highly popular, at most times residing among the top five conservative political blogs.[3]

Her first book, Invasion: How America Still Welcomes Terrorists, Criminals, and Other Foreign Menaces, was published in 2002 and was a New York Times bestseller.

In 2004, she wrote In Defense of Internment, defending Japanese American internment by the United States Government during World War II and relating this theme to the contemporary War on Terrorism.

For some reason, some people seem to care a great deal about what Ward Churchill thinks.

(I’m reminded of G. Gordon Liddy and Timothy Leary doing the college lecture circuit together in the '80s . . .)

From that link:

At one point during the live show, Horowitz said he was “beginning to feel like a potted plant.”

An epiphany by Mr. Horowitz?

tsk Come now, RT, you should know better, by now, than to expect any of Weirddave’s posts to be based on any actual knowledge.

Y’know, maybe you ought to back off from making personal observations about other posters in GD. (Yeah, this time your target had participated in the thread, but your comment is still not pertinent to the discussion and is out of line.)
