attention to other blogs thru generous linkage; diverse and new blogs which our readers may not be aware of, but would find interesting.<\/p>\n<p>individual blogs like <a href=\"http:\/\/simplyleftbehind.blogspot.com\/\">simply left behind<\/a>, or <a href=\"http:\/\/bgalrstate.blogspot.com\/\">blue gal<\/a> or <a href=\"http:\/\/maneegee.blogspot.com\/\">man eegee<\/a>. group blogs like <a href=\"http:\/\/www.themoderatevoice.com\/\">the moderate voice<\/a> or <a href=\"http:\/\/\/\">correntewire<\/a> or <a href=\"http:\/\/first-draft-blog.typepad.com\/first_draft\/\">first draft<\/a>. media blogs like <a href=\"http:\/\/makethemaccountable.com\/\">make them accountable<\/a>, or tireless blogs that always practice generous linkage, like <a href=\"http:\/\/sideshow.me.uk\/\">the side show<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>we know that <a href=\"https:\/\/bradblog.com\">the bradblog<\/a> is one of the few sites that concentrates on investigating and reporting hard news, specifically about election integrity. we&#8217;re especially honored, therefore, to be guest blogging here today&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>it&#8217;s our fervent belief that one reason the hardly-ever-right wing has made such progress in dominating the public debate is due to the carefully-constructed media infrastructure of meme-spreading and idea-reinforcing.<\/p>\n<p>sean hannity, michelle malkin, glenn beck, matt drudge, rush limbaugh, fox news&#8230;all are part of a huge media echo chamber that repeats and reinforces talking points of the right wing.<\/p>\n<p>the left needs a similar information infrastructure. tho we are but individual bloggers writing small blogs, we hope that the mutual cross-linkage of blogroll amnesty day will be a small step on the road to creating such an infrastructure.<\/p>\n<p>the more diverse voices we can introduce each other to, the more our ideas of fairness and justice can be spread thru-out blogtopia, and yes, i coined that phrase!<\/p>\n<p>please take a moment to click on the links of some blogs you&#8217;ve never read before, and help support various points of view.<\/p>\n<p>and happy blogroll amnesty day!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>guest blogged by skippy the bush kangaroo&#8230;
