I don't usually read The Weekly Standard, of course, but this op-ed piece posted on the CBS News site caught my eye.
The author, Dean Barnett, has some interesting analyses of the left blogosphere in general and of Daily Kos in particular.
His analysis is flawed, of course, because Barnett makes the all-too-common error of conflating "the progressive blogosphere" with Daily Kos, as if it is the alpha and the omega of blogging on the left, but there are still some claims in Barnett's article that merit examination.
More below the fold.
