Blogs have many functions. They fact check the media. They fact check politicians. They provide opinion. They provide links to first hand witnesses. They provide a forum for political discussion. They suck up vast amounts of time that could better spent elsewhere. In the last election, bloggers proved their worth in a whole new way.
Blogs of all political stripes spent most of yesterday detailing reports of voting machine malfunctions and ballot shortages, effectively becoming an online national clearinghouse of the polling problems that still face the election system.
And in a new twist this year, many bloggers buttressed their accounts of electoral shenanigans with links to videos posted on the video Web site YouTube.
Speaking of YouTube, I hope you all caught Matt Klam’s article in the Times magazine. After you read that, please check out Faith Hill at the CMA. Hee-hee.

“Blogs of all political stripes spent most of yesterday detailing reports of voting machine malfunctions and ballot shortages, effectively becoming an online national clearinghouse of the polling problems that still face the election system.”
Or did they perpetuate the canard that there was a conspiracy to manipluate the election and overblow the idea that voting machines were flawed?
I guess it’s a glass is half empty/half full thing
