Bloggers vs Reporters
Who asks the more substantive questions? The reporters:
How much flak are you getting for endorsements by Chuck Norris and Ric Flair?
Is the drop in violence in Iraq making it a less important campaign issue?
What’s it like facing the Clinton political machine?
Why aren’t you spending more time in Iowa right now?
What do you think of Romney and Giuliani going after each other?
What’s going to be your strategy coming out of Iowa?
Or the bloggers:
Can you speak about the Arkansas home-schooling bill that came up when you were governor?
How is the Fair Tax likely to affect tourism in Michigan?
What are your thoughts on a parental rights amendment?
How do you plan to make education a bigger issue on the trail?
Can you respond to claims that your economic policies are in line with populist traditions of the Democratic party?
What would you say to immigrants turned off by all the anti-immigration talk among Republicans?
The result should be no surprise to anyone who reads blogs regularly. Regardless of political leanings, complaints about the MSM is pretty much standard fare, (except when they happen to agree with you). It's just rare to see such a glaring example of the MSM's failings regarding political reporting compared to bloggers on display.
