California Conservative

New York Times reports: “Don’t ask Nick Denton, publisher of Gawker Media and its growing list of popular Web logs, about his empire. “People come up to me as if it’s witty and say, ‘How is the empire going?’” Denton said, “which is pretty pathetic.”

Denton is withering in his contempt. A blog, he says, is much better at tearing things down–people, careers, brands–than it is at building them up. As for the blog revolution, Denton put it this way: “Give me a break.”

Then again, maybe he’s just posturing to discourage future competition. After all, he’s turned Gawker into a profitable enterprise.

“Big advertisers like Audi, Nike and General Electric have all vied for eyeballs on Gawker’s blogs, which Denton describes as sexy, irreverent, a tad elitist and unabashedly coastal.”

Could the same description apply to CaliforniaConservative?

We sure feel “sexy,” especially during elections. May our readers be the judge.
