The Media Market

A Moral Majority?
It's quite interesting to see that some analysts where able to get it right just a few days after the U.S. elections in November: It's the terrorists, stupid! And some acknowledge that they were wrong, and point other interesting facts. No, moral value-voters didn't have the impact some liberals would like them to have (as scare-crows, I'm sure).
One of the best-selling books right now is God's Politics: Why the Right Gets it Wrong and the Left Doesn't Get it:

While the Right in America has hijacked the language of faith to prop up its
political agenda -- an agenda not all people of faith support -- the Left hasn't
done much better, largely ignoring faith and continually separating moral
discourse and personal ethics from public policy. While the Right argues that
God's way is their way, the Left pursues an unrealistic separation of religious
values from morally grounded political leadership. The consequence is a false
choice between ideological religion and soulless politics.

Back to Blogging
Now, a few months later and the inaugural address being us, Peggy Noonan does, as always, bring on an analysis on blogging activity and its impact for the future: The Blogs Must Be Crazy. There seems to be a new trend all over the world to, all of a sudden, highlight bloggers - as Stewart Purvis does in the UK:s own The Guardian. And Swedish news bureau TT is keeping up with the trend.
And O'Reilly at Fox interviews Rony Abovitz, the blogger who brought down CNN:s Eason Jordan. Watch his blog here: Fix the World.

I think MSM finally caught up and realized what must have hit them in the head for so long.
