Watcher’s Winners – Media Bashing Edition
I
t was a bad week for the media in the Watcher of Weasels’ weekly electronic ballot box of the best of the blogs. The two winners covered the same topic – the extent and the “why” of bias in this campaign – and their takes were very similar. Nonetheless, I voted for them #1 and #2, and that’s how they turned out:
- First place with 2 votes votes! – Joshuapundit – A Spectator At The Orgy
- Second place with 1 1/3 votes – Hillbilly White Trash – The gap between the media’s version and the actual truth grows wider
My post, Is A Barack Win Predestined?, which didn’t deal with the media, tied for third place with Colossus of Rhodey’s We’re Tired of It already, which did.
On the non-Council side, things were a bit more wide open, with:
- First place with 2 votes votes! – Iowahawk – Balls and Urns
- Second place with 1 2/3 votes – Winds of Change – The Newspaper Crash of 2009… And How You Can Help
Iowahawk, as usual, is a hoot – this time attacking the “margin of error” in polls. WoC is much too gleeful about the shaky condition of the media for me; still it’s a good economic analysis of what newspapers face. Myself, I don’t want to see them die; I want them to adapt and improve.
For all the winners, see the Watcher, who as is his wont, has added some terrific commentary around the entries.
