I Got A Mention In The Charlotte Observer...
That's a surprise. What's more surprising is that it came from a cat at the John Locke Foundation.
The author, Jeff Taylor, wrote a very good piece about why blogs are a vital part of the new political landscape. Populism at it's essense, really...
The sheer variety of this rapid-fire debate also is at odds with Parker's portrayal of bloggers marching in lock-step, chasing after CNN's Jordan or CBS's Dan Rather. Just one compendium of North Carolina blogs, the Old North State blogroll, spans the ideological spectrum. From Brian's Political Donnybrook and Collective Sigh on the left to the Charlotte Capitalist and the Locke Foundation's own Locker Room on the right, if you can't a find blog to suit your own outlook then, well, you should start your own blog! Yes, there's plenty of room in the cyber-mob for new recruits.
That does not sound like the death of free speech, more like a glorious re-birth.
P.S. Big thanks to DrFrankLives for bringing this to my attention.
