Forum: Internet Links Topic: "Conservative bloggers get paid by GOP." started by: GORDON Posted by GORDON on Aug. 24 2010,10:46
< http://dailycaller.com/2010....an-cash >1. Damn, no one ever gave me any money. I'm a chump. QUOTE “It’s standard operating procedure” to pay bloggers for favorable coverage, says one Republican campaign operative. A GOP blogger-for-hire estimates that “at least half the bloggers that are out there” on the Republican side “are getting remuneration in some way beyond ad sales.” Read more: < http://dailycaller.com/2010....XwtupFH > Oh my god, what a steaming pile of bullshit. Aint no fucking way half of them are on the payroll. MAYBE 2% of all bloggers get paid by a political party, and I'm guessing most of them are democrat-leaning. Major "Coordination of the message" by the left has been exposed twice that I know of, so there is history. Posted by Leisher on Aug. 24 2010,11:38
Multiple left leaning websites have been caught taking cash or getting paid through organizations like MoveOn.org.I find it interesting that this article mentions none of that. So essentially, you're reading a blogger's opinion based on another blogger's opinion with no actual facts given aside from a random, uneducated guess, meanwhile ignoring all the actual facts and examples that have been provided over the past several years. If I asked Gordon how many people on Earth are really aliens from Mars, and he replies "10,000" does that mean I can write an article stating it as fact? No? Then why did the asshat who wrote this article for the Daily Caller think it's ok? Where are his editors? Posted by TPRJones on Aug. 24 2010,11:54
Editors?What do you think this is, journalism? Posted by GORDON on Aug. 24 2010,12:20
(TPRJones @ Aug. 24 2010,14:54) QUOTE Editors? What do you think this is, journalism? Hold on, let's ask JornoList and get the consensus on whether or not this is journalism. |
