You see this all over the place a Free Republic: MSNBC, CBS, LA Times, Drudge, Townhall, websites, blogs, etc. Someone references articles from other sources. Granted there’s a fine line between advertising and providing info.
Now his blog may be lame-ass and maybe it’s not as good as Michelle Malkin’s or Dick Morris’s. But if it’s no good it will go down in flames. I would hate to pass on the great content Freepers find us from all over the place.
Then why wouldn't the blogpimp post that content here?
If the content is the thing, why not show it? Post it?
Why should a blogpimp demand a blog-hit to read it?
FR's audience is MUCH larger than any foolish blog.
The answer is in the ads. Blogpimps get paid per hit.
The pimps want to tease you into clicking on their blogs
in order to increase their hit-count. There is no other reason.
If "getting the message out" was the goal, it would be posted in full here.
