Bloggers Take note: You have a narrow audience
I think that bloggers like Kos don’t realize that they have a narrow audience and that often their egregious attacks work against them. Bloggers look at the blogosphere through bloggers’ eyes; a majority of voters don’t. When I read something at the Daily Kos, I might “lol” or “wtf” at it. But Kos, your message and the way it is perceived is twisted when it hits other mediums like, say, TV. When you make stupid accusations that turn out to be false, it doesn’t matter that you were only speculating. People are going to be outraged. Think about elder people (who vote more consistently than your young audience) watching CNN or Fox News on a regular basis and find out that you smeared Palin and basically made these things up. Do you think that they will just “lol” or “wtf” at it? Probably not; they will find out that you support Obama and tie this smear campaign directly to him.
Careful, careful out there in the blogosphere. We should all take note.
