The Huffpo is influential? They just seem like the average of every left-of-center editorial I've ever read. Can anyone tell me any stories they've broken? Has anyone ever read anything on the Huffpo that they felt like quoting later? That changed their views in any way? I have trouble imagining this. This article keeps getting weirder. Michelle Malkin is not very influential among conservatives -- Glenn Reynolds or the Powerline guys or the LGF guys have done a lot more to shape conservatives' web presence. Samizdata should rank below them. I don't see Lew Rockwell or Brussels Journal, who have both gotten far-right fringes (anarcho-capitalists and anti-EU isolationists) a lot more attention. Also, no business blogs? No economics blogs? To the extent that valueinvestorsclub.com is a blog, it's more influential than all of these put together, since it's caused measurable multi-million dollar changes in stock and bond valuations. And no peak oil blogs? Where would peak oil be without blogs? How many people routinely chat with petroleum geologists?
