Maybe they are viewed as entertainment and money-making content instead of public record and thus not something anyone doing real things in the real world would want to participate in?Corbynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8611810694571930415.post-58373675865344754072013-03-18T12:43:53.848-04:002013-03-18T12:43:53.848-04:00Anon 10:59:

That he allows a Senator's aide to add some spin doesn't mean that his first post wasn't a fair and valuable response.<br /><br />But we know TDH reads Dean Baker's blog and according to that reliable source Klein's coverage of budget issues has been first rate:<br />"This is what reporters/columnists are supposed to do. His column is not an endorsement, it just lays out the benefits and downsides of a serious budget. What a novel idea."<br />http://www.cepr.net/index.php/blogs/beat-the-press/ezra-klein-gives-real-coverage-to-the-progressive-caucus-budget<br /><br />So TDH disappears this aspect of Klein's work to advance the new "young mandarin" narrative? TDH appears to be taking the express lane to irrelevance. <br /><br /> Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8611810694571930415.post-23191965290905136012013-03-18T09:27:36.814-04:002013-03-18T09:27:36.814-04:00I blog often anԁ I гeally aρρreciаte your informat...I blog often anԁ I гeally aρρreciаte your information.<br />This great article has truly peaked my interest.<br />I'm going to bookmark your blog and keep checking for new details about once per week.
