Bloggers Of The Quagmire
In the online reality of politics, it doesn’t really matter what the truth is in the CBS-Bush records *quagmire. What matters is that mainstream media is once again seeing the value of bloggers. Sure bloggers can be in your face rumor-mongering gossip slantmeisters, that’s why we love them. But bloggers dig deep, fact check, and make sure issues are debates instead of a one way broadcast on how you should think. They can also scoop Old Media.
While bloggers are pinging, other online politicos are also ramping up for 50 days of pure pain. Here’s a few to take a look at:
- MoveOn has a new web ad “Who Profits” that’s pretty good and should make a splash with young voters. They also have episode three of Jimmy the Cab Driver, which is not quite as funny as the first two.
- Texans For Truth seemed to pop up over night and is an online success story in the making.
- Progress For America is fighting back for the right with an ad of their own along with several new online features on the website.
*quagmire - that is the first time I’ve ever used quagmire and it felt pretty good.
