Reply #15: DU is several thousand unpaid reporters -- that's its importance [View All]

[HamdenRice]

DU, DailyKos, the liberal blogs -- we're like thousands of free lance reporters catching up the administration on its lies. Gannongate, the debate bulge and some 9/11 material has been disclosed on blogs and boards first.

Parts of the media read DU -- especially some Air America hosts -- from where info gets catapulted sometimes into the mainstream media.

It is not so much first hand reporting as it is cross checking various administration and media claims against each other. That is really its importance, not that 1000 liberals clicking away at keyboards is really a threat to stability.
