This Week in Blogging, Oct. 10
As you may expect, Sunday’s Meet the Press debate was the source of much talk and disagreement among the Internet crowd. Check out reaction from FiredUp, The Source, The Turner Report, Arena of Ideas, Political Fix, KC Buzz Blog, and KY3 News. Tony Messenger of the News-Leader thinks Talent won. The Talent and McCaskill campaign sites both offer their reactions as well.
Congratulations to PubDef.net, who was was cited by Tim Russert as the source of Claire McCaskill’s behind-closed-doors comments about Bush and Katrina. The St. Louis American tapped the site’s author a little last week for his call for appreciation, but Republicans should already be grateful that he chose to report Claire’s Katrina comments and, more recently, that he reported on the ACORN controversy.
Tony has already had enough of people using Buck O’Neill’s name in vain. Thankfully, some people remember O’Neill the right way.
Wonkette asks a good question: Do reporters get paid more for blogging? It’s none of our business, of course, but that doesn’t mean we don’t want to know.
Speaking of Wonkette, its former author Ana Marie Cox wrote a piece for TIME on Ohio … do the parallels to Missouri sound familiar?
