An Ankle-Biting-Pundit expresses concern about the lack of "conservative New Media news sites":
Jonathan Martin has a story out today regarding the Republicans' "dearth of new-media reporting." It's worth reading and puts into circulation a dynamic many of us have quietly expressed our concern about for a long time now: Conservative bloggers write top-notch opinion but liberal bloggers break news....
Of course, Jonathan is correct at the 30,000 foot level: Huffington Post and Talking Points Memo have evolved into news sites, whereas conservative blogs have largely remained commentary sites that occasionally report news when they have it.
And what is to blame for this terrible, terrible problem?
Leftwing media bias.
Ah, but of course. And how can we confirm this hypothesis?
Thers runs Whiskey Fire.
