The Difference
March 19th, 2007at 11:38am Posted by Eli
charley has a very good take on the difference between right and left blogs:
The difference between a right wing blog, and a left of center blog, is the best of the left… exposes outrages. The right uses trumped up incidents to create outrages.
This sounds just about right to me. Right-wing “outrage” always smacks of phoniness and calculation. One of the dead giveaways is when they suddenly pretend to be oh-so-concerned for women, minorities, gays, civility, or the environment – all of which they have nothing but open contempt for.
