We Should Fear Huffington

I think the single biggest obstacle to the conservative movement has always been the liberal, mainstream media.  It's not a myth, it's real, and we go into every election with a severe handicap because of it.  The Democrat Party would have been a permanant minority party long ago if it wasn't for the fact that 90% of all our media comes through a liberal lens.

I've often thought that conservatives would get a lot more bang for their buck if instead of contributing to political campaigns and think tanks, they should just pool their money together and purchase controlling interests of various media outlets.

In terms of the Huffington Post, however, I think you overstate their influence.  I don't feel their influence comes anywhere near say, The Drudge Report.   Our real media problem comes from the network nightly news, major newspapers, and weekly news magazines.  That is where the deciding voters get most of their information.   The Huffington Post has a nice little niche, but I don't think it's anywhere near actually swaying any elections.  Most of their readers have already made up their mind about where they stand ideologically.

While The Huffington Post has momentum there's going to run into trouble when webloggers stop offering their content for free. That's what launched the site and gave it some legitimacy. What happens when Mayhill Fowler wants a few bucks for her work and won't be consigned to only have access to a large audience?

Maybe that won't happen. But what will is arrogance Huffington brings to all her endeavors. It would be quite ironic for the Greek internet maven to be done in because of her own hubris.

Fear the Hordes of Huffzbullah? I don't think so ,pal. Those Moonbats are as inept, misguided and lacking in decency and rational as a D.C 6th grade classroom. Maybe you are confusing the fact that a cesspool attracts and breeds millions of mosquito's but they are still just mosquito's. bugs. I squash bugs. Huffzbullah might be positioning itself as an advertising giant for the Moonbat Media but c'mon....really, 'Those People' cannot help but fail, that's the only aspect of their existence that they can actually plan for and expect on a consistent basis.

I swear this whole blog has been devoted to telling us how far behind the Left we are. So far it hasn't helped remedy the situation or even pointed in the right direction. Reading this blog is like going to the doctor and having him tell you over and over that there are a lot of people who are healthier than you but then refusing to prescribe any treatment.

"[Huffington] began by railing against the "false objectivity" of the mainstream media. She cites the tendency to match global warming believes with skeptics on public debate shows, when in fact the media should acknowledge one side as The Truth and be done with it.

She says the fact that Iraq is an unmitigated disaster is an objective Truth and the media should never consider reporting on it as anything but. And if they don't, the "newspaper of the Internet" will."

The MSM has been anything but objective on Iraq and global warming.   The media is already doing what Huffington wants.  What is she complaining about?  And if she somehow surpasses the New York Times and CNN as the largest media outlet,  what would change?

Huffington is pathetic, but not scary.
