Kos & Effect: Liberal Blogging Working To Create A “Buzz Machine”
Appearing on CNN’s ironically named, “Reliable Sources,” guest (Daily) Kos had more than a few words to say about liberal blogging and Republicans.
See the video, via Crooks and Liars.
Talking point highlights from Kos:
- There really is a “right-wing conspiracy,” but “it’s out in the open.”
Republicans have a big noise machine, think tanks, and campaign strategy. “We don’t have any of that.”
Liberal efforts are “very tiny compared to what they have.”
Asked about MSM coverage of Bush, whether it’s been “too easy” on the President:
“Absolutely,” says Kos.
They been “afraid to get at the truth.” But now, “poll numbers make it safe to criticize.”
“They were intimidated” by the White House and their operatives.
“Beating up on journalists,” it was a very “intimidating environment.”
No wonder Kos dislikes the military. His view of intimidation is very low.

POLLS! pick ‘n choose whom to call and then whether or not to include in the final analysis! Random my eye. Complete statistics are available for donkeys and used by the MSM to select in advance which numbers will give the desired feedback. So stack the polls and feel safe to criticize the one thing saving your KOS-a**.

The Card Shuffle
The White House Chief of Staff Andrew Card resigns today. I guess the shuffling of the deck and the dropping of the Card as Ed Morrissey puts it, was inevitable.
