bloggers

MTV Street Team interviews me about what its like blogging the election and young voters. Cool thing is that it got picked up by AP and is now posted on AOL and USNews and World Reports.

My major point emphasizing the importance of blogs is that it allows for you to completely cover something that mainstream media ignores... like.... um... what is a good example of an issue that the media doesn't cover or totally gets wrong? Gosh... there must be something... oh yeah! THE YOUTH MOVEMENT!

When I first started blogging it was 2004 and I pretty much had no idea wtf I was doing. I was a front page reader of Kos but didn't understand where all the other blogs were.... seriously.... I didn't get it, I didn't know too much about politics and all I knew was that I was pissed about the way I saw the Kerry campaign running and that my candidate was losing right along with him.

What a difference 4 years makes... Either way, thanks to all you great readers who, on occasions, think I sound lucid. And thanks to the other bloggers I so deeply admire.

After the repeated attacks on bloggers that we’ve seen on FoxNews shown to us on BraveNewFilms and what they’ve spent the week leading up to YearlyKos talking about on O’Reily (which I’ve been subject to by some nutbar who changes the station at my gym).

I’ve also been watching something else going on all week. Something very contradictory the “Liberal Bloggers” and “Liberal Media” accusations that Bill and his buddies at Fox seem to throw around so freely.
