My Duty is to My Clan
Posted by Bill According to Blogpulse, there's very little cross-linkage (PDF file) between the right and left-wing blogosphere, and the right-wing blogosphere tends to move with greater unanimity. Additional points of interest: * Overall, right-wing blogs still have more popularity (in terms of their proportional representation in the top 40). * Right wing blogs tend to post more. * Right-wing blogs are downright dirty hippies when it comes to spreading link-love. * For better or worse, Dick Cheney and Dan Rather are blogospheric stars! * I barely, and I mean barely, link liberal blogs. In an effort to boost right-left relations, I'll link Kevin Drum's quality analysis. Posted by Bill at March 11, 2005 02:12 PM | TrackBack (3) CommentsWe rule. Your blogad still says "Bolggers," BTW. Posted by: marchandchronicles Well, as an effective political force, the right wing is better served by a natural cohesion. I have no control over the content of the blogads. Posted by: Bill from INDC If we want to hear what the left is saying, we need only read newspapers or magazines, listen to radio or network news, listen to academics, union leaders, preachers, poverty pimps, or intellectuals, watch TV, go to the movies, read most books, ditto text books, audit any class in any public school, college or university, read doctoral theses -- did I leave anything out? Why do blogs dedicated to truth, justice and the American way need to link to leftwing bloggers. Leftwing blogging seems so redundant. Posted by: erp Reading Kevin Drum's article and the comments below it got me thinking, and the results are on my blog. Linky-love back here and to Kevin, but I can't do trackbacks (different software and I lost Whizbang's page). Click the link in the signature. Posted by: ubu Hopefully this FEC dust-up will help change that a bit. I know in my posts on the topic I found comments by Kos, Atrios, and MyDD oddly relevant, for a change. The folks over at Redstate.org seem to be doing a good job getting cross-party cooperation going, as well. Posted by: Demosthenes I'd have to disagree with that whole "right spreads the link-love" thing. The only way I can get links is to call Bill a sexist pig. Posted by: dirtdart Watch your language... the use of the word Clan is considered hate speach by some. Posted by: VastRwingC There's more red bloggers because the blogosphere, like AM radio, arose in response to the liberal media. The blue bloggers seem to be the shock troops too xxxtreme even for the MSM: it's indicative that the top red blogger is Reynolds, a sober pragmatist, while the top blue blogger is Kos, a frothing extremist driven by ideology & (displaced) hatred of George Bush (Tammy Bruce would call him a malignant narcissist) Posted by: beautifulatrocities Interesting study but there were some things I wish they had checked. For example, what percentage of the cross-community links were negative, positive and neutral? For example, I'd suspect that the vast majority of cross-community links from the left to the right were negative, while a smaller (but still hefty) percentage of right to left links were negative.
