Most of the comments on Kevin Drum's blog are idle chatter, much like any blog. There is no troll traffic because his comments are moderated. Trolls traffic drives away the community, so people don't bother with the comments here. It is too sad to be here because of you guys.<br />3. Somerby's blog has a clearly defined purpose and he sticks to it. Not everyone is interested, nor should they be. People differ. Those who are interested have been here a long time but rarely comment unless they have some point to make.<br />4. The statistics you are citing are intended to assess marketing potential of blog traffic. You are misusing them when you try to assess whether people care about Somerby's topic or like what he writes.<br />5. I miss the people who used to be here. I blame you and your ilk for driving them off, not Somerby. <br />6. I sometimes skim the day's post, as you describe, then move on. Those are the days when I am busy or traveling. But why comment when the same trolls say the same derogatory stuff, and the conservatives spew their bizarre links and make racist statements? Most sane people with other sources of entertainment in their lives will not waste time arguing with you.<br />7. Why do I bother? I will spend the rest of the day thinking about that and let you know tomorrow.<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8611810694571930415.post-86429014997268322642016-04-22T13:11:32.266-04:002016-04-22T13:11:32.266-04:00It's irrelevant when Somerby does it.

Drum has his click-bait bones to chew as well, but he also writes about lots of issues -- not just people, but issues -- every day. And he does it in such a clear, concise manner that he invites discussion. <br /><br />And he will get more activity in his combox in a single post that takes Somerby months to generate in all his posts combined.<br /><br />And slowly, surely, the traffic to this blog keeps dwindling to the point where this national "pioneer of political blogging" isn't attracting the attention of a Kansas City vanity blog written by a wannabe reporter.<br /><br />(U.S. rank of The Daily Howler: 163,530. U.S. rank of Tony's Kansas City: 78,640.)<br /><br />If you've been a reader since he went to Blogspot and a combox five years ago to make his blog more interactive, think of all the people who used to comment here daily who are gone altogether, or commwent very seldomly.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />irishguyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05214796640416172528noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8611810694571930415.post-86183380778833034672016-04-22T10:45:29.494-04:002016-04-22T10:45:29.494-04:00Perhaps you should fault me for not seeing the dif...Perhaps you should fault me for not seeing the difference between insect-rodent and baboon in the dehumanization of the hated others?<br /><br />As usual you defend someone who politely screams "Nazi" at someone one day for doing exactly what he himself has done before and then does again shortly after. Or is it the Nazis you are defending? Not sure which, but it has to be one or the other in the logic of Howlerland.<br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8611810694571930415.post-83153270041525362472016-04-22T10:34:56.332-04:002016-04-22T10:34:56.332-04:00They let naked people rant on street corners in yo...They let naked people rant on street corners in your town?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8611810694571930415.post-39268410936011154952016-04-22T10:33:13.991-04:002016-04-22T10:33:13.991-04:00And, as usual, you see no difference between a jou...And, as usual, you see no difference between a journalist with a national podium and self-styled media critic Somerby on his vanity blog.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8611810694571930415.post-3194831466010612722016-04-22T10:20:05.905-04:002016-04-22T10:20:05.905-04:00HOW WEIRD IS BOB SOMERBY?
