There sure is a lot of that.
Remember when you could refresh the page and there might have been one new article? But it was an article not some bloggers opinion.
What they don't get is, I sit here and think "Who are these people and why do they believe that I care what they think? And they simply post their opinion and walk away from any discussion. I believe the term I'm searching for is "self-important". :-)
They are generating hits to their blog. I assume they make some money doing that.
Also, some of them don’t even post their opinion. They lure you to their blog with a catch title, which simply has a link to some MSM article or another blog. Others list an MSM source, but the link goes to a blog.
