This doesn’t bode well
2008-03-12 | Filed under Politics |
A few weeks ago I started reading PolitiFact after hearing a bit on NPR. I like fact-checking—an important journalistic skill quite different from refereeing volleys of unexamined claims from representatives on both sides of an issue—and I love the existence of the Pants-on-Fire rating. I periodically check out Barry Eisler’s blog. Then Christa pointed out Robert Reich’s blog, and I’ve poked around through the archives a bit.
But today I started reading Daily Kos, something I have specifically avoided doing up until now. I sort of feel like the others are gateway blogs, and now I’m getting into the hard stuff.
I really don’t need more online time sinks. Or reasons to get pissed off. Nor do I have any desire to be a political blog junkie. I need to believe I can stop any time I want.
