“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.”
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.

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?
