Blogspots

Why do people post links to blogspots as if they are credible links?

 

[D. Scarlatti]

Depends on the blog doesn't it? There are plenty of "credible" blogs.

For example:

SCOTUSblog

Certainly there are some very bright people (perhaps brighter than those who write for some famous newspapers??) who write blogs. The experience, education, and insight some of these people have certainly rivels that of some media staffs. Just because their political position is blatantly revealed, it does not detract from this fact.

I don't think blogs are a priori not credible. Though often viewpoint-based, if the information and argument is sound, the source is unimportant.

Many of the links I have seen posted though are www.joeschmofromidaho.com.

Nothing against Idahoains that just happened to rhyme.

Some blogs are good stuff. Some aren't. I personally like Sound Politics though.
