Just so you know my indie/liberal cred is legit, I participated in Kos' "Stop Terror. Stop Torture. Stop Gonzales" campaign in February (http://www.mostlymuppet.com/archives/2005/02/01/stop-terror-stop-torture-stop-gonzales/). While I don't always agree with Jeff and I don't relish his association with Glenn Reynolds or LGF, I think he's trying to make a larger point about Google News' editorial power/choices and their disrespect for the blogosphere. Uber-blogger Dave Winer is making the same point (http://archive.scripting.com/2005/03/22#When:1:44:49PM & http://archive.scripting.com/2005/03/20#When:5:08:57PM) and he's about as far left as you can get. <BR/><BR/>And really Jeff is just making a point for all of us who blog that we need to be respected. Plus, in a world of transparency, Google is hiding behind it's Algorithms. Not the best choice.<BR/><BR/>Listen, I don't like Instapundit or LGF that much either, but I do read them occassionally. And I read Jeff regularly and, while I may not agree with everything he says, it does help me hone my own opinions. This whole online/blog experiment is all about the conversation, the cluetrain.<BR/><BR/>Hey, if you want to hate the man, that's fine, but I think you'll find that most people, myself included don't fit nicely into Red/Blue, Left/Right or any other binary market schemes. I'm an individual and so is Jeff. If he's a conspiracy, he's a conspiracy of one.<BR/><BR/>And I'll say this one last thing and then take my soapbox and go home: I like your site. I've added it to my Bloglines account. I'm sure I've been here before but not commented. Give other folks the same chance, even if it makes your skin crawl a little bit. Even a stopped clock is right twice a day. If some of the more conservative bloggers can admonish Congress for the recent Schiavo shenanigans, surely you can admit that Jeff's points about Google News aren't about letting one side in, but letting all sides in by opening up the protocols for membership and pulling back the Wizard's curtain.<BR/><BR/>Think about it.
