Hillary and Obama Bloggers Clash - DKOS Boycotted!

I have complained frequently that the liberal blogs (mydd, dkos, huffpo, tpm, etc…) and the media have shown overwhelmingly favorable and decidedly pro-Obama blogging/reporting. Now, I have no qualms with people taking up a position and sticking to it (from bloggers) but after a certain point it really just goes to far. The news media in particular though should stick to reporting the facts instead of becoming surrogate campaign spinsters (but we all know facts don’t sell as well as opinions - just ask Lou Dobbs/Bill O’Rei—).

Well, it has finally bubbled up to the surface and Hillary supporters who were once prominent bloggers at Daily Kos (dkos) are on strike! The discourse has turned ugly over there and frankly it doesn’t surprise me much. Dkos and others have essentially become online Obama-rallies where blogs are written to get a feel good rise out of their audience.

Finally, I would just say that I think we have put on a fairly good balance of blogging here and while our rhetoric has gotten heated certainly an exchange of ideas has not suffered because of it. I mean, heck, one could even accuse me of having a pro-Hillary spin to all of my blogging but it’s tempered by some good counterpoints by other contributors and vice versa.
