Blogosphere workflow (Wizbang)

Following up on my previous post about the liberal bloggers trying to manipulate the media into giving them more mainstream media coverage. I thought I'd lay out the typical workflow of left wing and right wing bloggers. This will explain why the left wing bloggers don't get as much ink from the big media.

The right wing workflow is from first hand experience... I've done this 1000 times.

Right Wing Blogger Workflow

1) Go to my favorite media outlet and read a news story that bashes: (pick 1 or many) Bush, America, U.S. Soldiers, a member of the Bush administration, Mom (unless she turned lesbian and threw Dad out) or Apple pie.

2) Sniff out that the reporter got the main fact or facts wrong.

3) Google up proof the reporter is full of shit.

4) Compile it all together and provide links to prove the media to be full of shit again.

5) Once in a blue moon, the media admits they were wrong.

Left Wing Blogger Workflow

1) Go to their favorite media outlet and read a news story that bashes: (pick 1 or many) Bush, America, U.S. Soldiers, a member of the Bush administration, Mom (unless she turned lesbian and threw Dad out) or Apple pie.

2) Post excerpt on blog.

3) Agree with every bogus fact, add nothing to the debate except except a link to last week's [now discredited] story.

4) Then finish the post by calling Bush and/or Republicans a dumb name.

5) Whine when the media ignores you.

That THAT boys and girls is why liberal bloggers don't get any ink.

P.S. Notice this is a HUMOR post, don't get your panties in a twist.

Wizbang Blue: Keating Economics: John McCain and the Making of a Financial Crisis

At the heart of the scandal was Keating's Lincoln Savings and Loan Association, which took advantage of deregulation in the 1980s to make risky investments with its depositors' money. McCain intervened on behalf of Charles Keating with federal regulators tasked with preventing banking fraud, and championed legislation to delay regulation of the savings and loan industry -- actions that allowed Keating to continue his fraud at an incredible cost to taxpayers.

Notice this is a HUMOR post

Not much to chuckle about in your post, because (like many SNL skits) it hits too close to the truth. You forgot an alternative workflow followed by some liberal bloggers:

1) Go to their favorite media outlet and read a story describing a plan by Bush, the US Senate, HOR etc.

2) Post excerpt on blog

3) Attack every point of the plan as stupid

4) Finish post by calling Bush and/or Republicans dumb name

5) Whine when media ignores you.

6) Ignore any follow up comments pointing out how Bush's plan incorporates part of your proposal to fix said problem two weeks ago, and that you are basically attacking your own plan as well as his.

PS: Didn't mean this to be funny. If it is, it is only in a "All those little critters of nature don't know they're ugly." sort of way.

Hm... I think you might have forgotten part of it:

1. Print the "truth" (something in your case more closely the resembling the rambling of a dementia-inflicted circus clown).

2. Everybody should accept it is the truth, even if you have no links, or even if your logic is so completely swiss-cheesed that I could drive a semi-truck through the holes.

3. If somebody doesn't accept your cheese product as the truth, denounce them as Republican Shills.

4. Above all, name call.

I hope I don't "sound so high and mighty" here, but did you mean to say "liberals and republicans"?

Are you sure you don't mean "liberals and conservatives" or "Democrats and Republicans"? There is a difference.

Does it matter really?

Yes. Philosophical foundations and political positioning are not the same thing.

And, thanks alot for helping prove my point while you're at it. Fortunately, I don't need some tagline to use as an insult.

Can I help it if I was more succinct? It took you considerably more sentences to camouflage yours though using stuff like "hate filled blog", "high and mighty", and other misplaced twigs won't conceal your own hostility. And yes, Dr. Holmes, I revel in your keen observational skills. Do you think my usage of your rule #5 and certain select words was accidental or unintentional? Please turn in your Red Ryder decoder ring to the Sargeant.

Here we see yet another form of liberal blogging displayed by the moonbats native to this region of the blogosphere:

1) Find conservative blog.
2) Post incoherent rant.

You need the liberal links. Remember, these people are at their best when they are allowed a platform from which to project their overarching theory of human hypocracy in government.

How are we supposed to defeat them in the elections if we don't allow them the rope (and gallows - today's blogosphere) by which they can hang themselves with no hands?

No, give them the links and a special place in your hearts.

After all, they know not what they do, nor are they capable of understanding the nuances that we call "reality".
