Left-Wing Blogs Take Big Credibility Hit
• Views: 1,999
Another casualty of the election: the credibility of left-wing bloggers, who were tricked by someone into releasing deceptively skewed exit polls early yesterday—a report that was picked up by wire services and actually affected the stock market briefly. I’m speaking specifically about Wonkette and Daily Kos and Atrios, who acted exactly like the mainstream media in the Rathergate affair, by running with a bogus, unverified story because they wanted it to be true.
They were played for fools.
