GLENN REYNOLDS, University of Tennessee Editor, Instapundit.com ANA MARIE COX, Editor, Wonkette.com ANDREW SULLIVAN, Senior Editor, The New Republic Andrewsullivan.com JOE TRIPPI, Former Campaign Manager for Howard Dean Author, "The Revolution Will Not Be Televised" / Joetrippi.com

Uhm...a discussion about blogs and not a conservative blogger anywhere to be seen. Wow, Charlie, can you have assembled anymore of a left-leaning group than this?

[silent_jonny]

Is Kennedy going to talk about blogs or will it be something else he knows nothing about?

[MisterRepublican]

Maybe Kennedy will be discussing tough new federal DUI legislation. Or maybe he'll discuss drowning young women and how to get away with it.

[Dont Mention the War]

How pathetic. The subject is supposed to be how the "little guy" is changing journalism, but Rose has on the blogging equivalent of the network news anchors. All famous, all part of the NYC/DC media/politics cocktail party circuit, and all wealthy (except for Cox). Sullivan (who just QUIT his blog, by the way) made about $160,000 last year from his blog. Reynolds makes about $100K. Trippi is paid by MSNBC to be their "blog guru" or somesuch BS. And Cox, while she only makes $20K a year, is the biggest socialite in DC because all the horny politicans can't get enough of the way she shows off her tits in a drunken stupor at every party and how she loves to say "c*ck" in one out of every three blog posts. Plus she is constantly being handed free trips all over the world to talk about blogging, so she might as well be making $100K/yr.

Just more proof that those four have sold out, and the MSM still doesn't get it.

Ummm.... Since when is Glenn Reynolds of Instapundit a liberal?

[crazyhorse691]

Charlie Rose is a great interviewer, but, his liberal loaded guest list has forced me to put on a movie instead of watching his show.

JOE TRIPPI, Former Campaign Manager for Howard Dean Author

Maybe Joe can reveal just how much the Dean campaign paid liberal bloggers to shill for them.

Naaaaah...

[frogjerk]

Watching Charlie Rose is as interesting as watching a hobo with bad "morning" hair talk about how the country is in shambles...

[CFC__VRWC]

Ummm.... Since when is Glenn Reynolds of Instapundit a liberal?

He's the designated punching bag, the lone conservative brought on to provide "balance." The rest of the panel is about as far left as you can get.

Charlie Rose is a great interviewer

Of what, dust?

[crazyhorse691]

Dust would be immensly better than most of what he has on now.

[AZ_Cowboy]

I'll second that. There are probably six conservative blogs for every liberal one, but true to their balanced programming on PBS, they found all liberals. Why not throw Keith Olbermann into the mix for a little more balance? I understand he has a faux blog now as well.

What really bothers me, though, it that my tax dollars are being wasted on this kind of crap. Simply "turning it off" will not stop your sponsorship of the program.

[hosepipe]

LoL... nice... I liked it..

[longtermmemmory]

This is the left, they would simply lie and state a few of the registered democrat bloggers are really republicans.

Oregon Public Broadcasting, which televises the show, receives no public money. I complain and drop my pledge a little each time. But, leftist Portland (not to mention the industries leftist slant)is the ruling gorilla.

[BfloGuy]

It's all well and good to debate whether or not the Instapundit has earned his conservative wings, but I'd be much happier if there were a consarned WORKING LINK to the story!

Thank you very much.
