Atrios is away so Echidne started a new thread and there were ten comments in a matter of seconds.

The blogs that have captured the most attention are those that devote themselves mainly to politics and public affairs. These are almost always run by partisans of one side or the other. In that, they are nearly the opposite of the sort of coverage presented in traditional media, whose coverage at least attempts to be neutral on questions of policy.
This neutrality is a favorite target of bloggers who say that mainstream journalism objectivity disguises hidden biases of the form, if not the writer. The bloggers contend that these biases can render neutrality into bland, even neutered reporting that rewards those intent on manipulating it.
More work to do.

Pakistani riot police trash TV station
· Protests grow over bid to sack chief justice
· Musharraf apologises for attack on broadcasters
Pakistani police fired tear gas, detained opposition leaders and ransacked the offices of a major television station yesterday as protests escalated over the ousting of the country's top judge.
Riot police smashed into the offices of Geo television in Islamabad after editors refused to stop transmitting pictures of police clashing with stone-throwing protesters. Glass doors were broken and journalists were assaulted by officers who ordered them to remove a rooftop camera with a panoramic view of the street violence.
"Look, this is our government's freedom of press," said producer Qaisar Butt, standing amid glass shards in an office that smelled of tear gas.

Yes, but did any of the comments stay on the topic? Did you discuss "Saturday"? or "enjoy"
Notice how the weekdays are named after pagan gods. This is clear oppression against Christians.
And "enjoy"! This is all about dirty hippies smoking their hashis pipes while masturbating with one hand.

Hi woodymylove and QL!
Copeland said the relatively small world of left-of-center political blogs now receives an estimated 160 million page views a month, in the same ballpark as some major newspapers and far more than any opinion magazine.

It's sorta like the second addition of a daily newspaper-- get rid of the shitty threads, re-post the whole thing and don't let anyone know there even was a shitty thread.

Digby gives attaturk a shoutout:
Ana Marie Cox dredges up that old Kos chestnut about the mercenaries to point out that the families of those men who were ritually killed in Fallujah are suing Blackwater for failing to adequately protect their employees. She retracts her earlier assertion that "liberal bloggers famously derided these contractors as mercenaries who deserved to die" when Attaturk pointed out that it was really Markos alone on that. (She does add "I do suspect that Markos is rarely alone in his opinions on such matters" but whatever.)I can only speak for myself when I say I didn't ever even call them mercenaries because I doubted they'd fight a war for anyone but the United States or one of its allies. ...

WASHINGTON - Denouncing a conflict entering its fifth year, protesters raised their voices Saturday against U.S. policy in Iraq and marched by the thousands to the Pentagon in the footsteps of an epic demonstration four decades ago against another divisive war.
I notice they don't say anything about the numbers of war lovers.
150?
If Modo and Brooks and Friedman went on a trip to Horseshit Mountain, the number hits at the NY Times site would go through the roof.

BTW,
ThinkProgress links to a story of how Walter Reed is EVEN WORSE than imagined.
Cordell says the worst of it may be Building 40. The old research institute has been condemned, but last week, the private contractor now responsible for maintaining Walter Reed sent workers in to fix a leak.
Cordell points to a picture showing the terrible decay inside the building and says, "The water is actually on the ground floor here. There is water halfway across the ground floor. And there's electricity too. There's high voltage that goes to this building. Two thirteen thousand volt transformers. Through the basement filled with water."
Cordell took more pictures in Building 1, the old hospital, that's now the main administration building. Water damage in the walls; holes in the ceilings next to electric cables and computer servers; hazardous waste stored between occupied floors; and leaking pipes that are rotting floor joists.
"The steam pipes below these buildings have burst, and it's making the rafters on the basement floor wet. People work on those floors," says Cordell.
When the Washington Post exposed the black mold in Building 18, where wounded soldiers recover, the contractor sent Cordell in to coordinate repairs. He says he did 250 to 300 work orders in two weeks.
The Army moved many of the injured soldiers to Building 14 -- and Cordell says as soon as they arrived the troops found more problems.
"So the building the soldiers moved to is just as messed up as Building 18?" asked 9NEWS NOW Reporter Bruce Leshan.
"Yes. Every one of the buildings at Walter Reed is the same way, or worse."
Cordell has a stack of e-mails -- nearly a week of trying to get managers to hire a qualified high voltage electrician to shut off the power to the flooded Building 40.
He finally went to the Garrison Commander who thanked him. But he's still unsure if it's been fixed.
He says, "They more or less told me, just be quiet and let it go. Well you know what, I can't let that go. Look at this, this is corrosion, stuff just wasted away. When they fix one steam leak, it just bursts somewhere else."
A spokesman for Walter Reed declined to offer any comment on the situation. But a Pentagon public affairs officer called and promised a response soon.
IAP, the private contractor that took over maintaining the hospital last month, released a written statement, saying it acted "without delay" to deal with the situation at Building 40, but that it took a little while to find "electrical schematics" and bring in a "high voltage subcontractor."

Nothing...Joe Wilson ain't my guy
...Woodward: Well it was Joe Wilson who was sent by the agency, isn’t it?
Armitage: His wife works for the agency.
Woodward: Why doesn’t that come out? Why does that have to be a big secret?
Armitage: (over) Everybody knows it.
Woodward: Everyone knows?
Joe Wilson’s been calling everybody. He’s pissed off ’cause he was designated as a low level guy went out to look at it. So he’s all pissed off.
Woodward: But why would they send him?
Armitage: Because his wife’s an analyst at the agency
A most happy birthday to Sean Patrick

Hillary Clinton continued her campaign for gay support yesterday, speaking at the GMHC 25th anniversary gala at Chelsea Piers. The event, which raised almost $900,000 for GMHC, was also attended by former NJ governor Jim McGreevey, Larry Kramer, Rosie O'Donnell, and other luminaries. Among the evening's honorees was Matilde Krim, founding chairman of AMFAR.
Why did the GMHC pick a venue that is owned by a loyalist of king-have-a-beer-with? Dumbasses.
