Our good friend
MADISON cheers us up:
Thought you all might be interested in this:"Only 22 percent of people responding to the poll said they read blogs regularly, meaning several times a month or more, according to the survey conducted by Harris Interactive."
...IF we take this they way they would like us to - you all have little influence. BUT considering less than 50% of registered voters bother to vote (and this group is very likely to vote) it would suggest that you are reaching nearly half of the electorate."Unlike traditional, mainstream media, blogs often adopt a specific point of view. Critics complain they can contain unchecked facts, are poorly edited and use unreliable sources."
I am not even going to respond to this - if you know what I mean - NYT, 60 Minutes, etc.."Despite the attention blogs can get, the poll said 56 percent of Americans say they never read blogs that discuss politics"
That could be the group that doesn't bother to register OR vote.
Sooooo keep up the great work because you ARE reaching those who care.
Let not your heart be troubled, friend...we're not going anywhere! As Stan "The Man" Lee once said: "You keep reading them and we'll keep writing them." Of course, he was talking about comic books...
