It seems what this really does is point out to politicians interested in controlling public thought via the internet, where to plant things, and what websites to shut down when the truth is in danger of being released.

It is based on a program used to detect contamination in a water supply system,....a shut it off at it’s source.

The ‘truth’ is the ‘contamination’.

Thank you. No point in citing the study if we don’t know what the findings were.

I guess I’m out of things. Beside Michelle’s blog and maybe two others, I’ve never even heard of most of the entries.

That’s a weird list all right. It definitely skews right—Michelle Malkin, Instapundit, Captain’s Quarters, My Pet Jawa, Gates of Vienna, etc. The only left-wing blog I already knew of on that list was Crooks and Liars.

And I find it very interesting that, unless I missed it, Daily Kos is not on that list at all. Considering how influential that site is with the moonbat left, I wonder if that makes their algorithm even more suspect.

Pravda means “truth”, Izvestia means “news”, so there is no “truth” in the News, and no “news” in the Truth......

It’s not a top 100 list as far as readership. It is the top 100 list, using the algorithm these kids developed in how to find the cost effectiveness of the most and most accurate info from blogs. At least that is what I read in their paper.
