"The political left owns the internet ..."
Sorry - this is a false premise and I don't accept it.
MoveOn is not the be all end all of the internet. And .. FR has been here longer and has more sane members.
What has changed, in my mind, is not my opinion of FR, the quality of its membership, or the right blogosphere as a whole, but instead the platform on which our side is based, and how that affects the stories which drive the daily news cycle.
User-driven news content accounts for the majority of the news stories which get the attention of the daily cycle. And those user-driven networks are dominated by the left.
The right is dominated by talk radio and a few A-list blogs, like FR. We are very good at focusing the attention of the news cycle on a specific story of interest. The premise of Cox's article, as well as my post, was that we on the right have conceded the vast user-driven platforms to the left. The result has been that 3 or 4 out of the top 5 news stories each day are lefty-oriented. We can either blame that on the "Liberal Media", or look at the underlying causes for the placement of those news stories to begin with.
