I should perhaps add:

If your concern is that "liberal gatekeepers" are somehow "limiting the influence" of FreeRepublic by manipulating survey results, well... who cares?

The only thing that really counts is access, which is what I addressed above.

I, and most other like-minded conservatives and libertarians, don't pay attention to internet surveys. Surveys are untrustworthy even at their best.

We hit the websites we want to hit, which only requires internet access. If -that- gets blocked, we have a complaint.

dayglored: If your concern is that "liberal gatekeepers" are somehow "limiting the influence" of FreeRepublic by manipulating survey results, well... who cares?

The fact that you don't personally care whether or not Google might be waging infowar on FreeRepublic is potentially interesting, I suppose, from an ideological, psychological and perhaps even moral standpoint.

However, your expressions of personal apathy should not be confused with actual discussion of the technical anomaly noted in my article above, to wit, the discrepancy between the traffic reports of WordPress Stats and Google Analytics on January 31, 2009.

Please let's stay on topic.
