progressive cyberdadaism from our nation’s capital
(The title comes from a Lampoon piece, suggesting that NPR’s All Things Considered should change its name to the above.)
I was reminded of this from today’s NPI panel on The Powerful Political Tools of 2006: How Progressives Can Leverage an Array of New Tools and Media Right Now. I met some really interesting people, and hope to get one or more to speak at Drinking Liberally. One thing I found interesting was that there was an inclination to avoid the example of the liberal blogosphere in discussing the liberal mediasphere. I think this is because even the left is starting to believe (incorrectly, IMHO) that the lefty blogosphere is really a profane rant zone.
