"They can do so at almost no cost"
Yeah, except in time.
I'm sure Rathergate is important in some ways, but it'd be nice if all those blogs that are spending all this time on that could be encouraged to cover things that are a bit more important.
I believe -- right or wrong -- American's, in general, are not as liberal as the media and entertainment industry would have us believe and it's the vulnerable, and easily impressionable, who believe the left-wing garbage they spew out on a regular basis (Howard Stern is another!!!!!!). These are the people who show up to cause hate and discontent like we saw in New York last month.
Now, if I'm right and we can right the left-wing bent in our University system there may be a chance for our society and future generations yet..
