When you deal with people that read blognews like the Dailykos, as their source of information you are dealing with people who haven't got a clue about true journalism, fairness, balance in news articles or actually researching and thinking on their own. Here's a sample of the trash the weblog founder Markos Alberto Moulitsas Zúniga, posted according to Discover the Networks:
On April 1, 2004, Zuniga himself posted one of Daily Kos's most controversial blogs to date. Titled "Screw Them," the piece ridiculed four American private contractors in Iraq who, the day before, had been ambushed and killed (by guerrillas), mutilated and burned, dragged through the streets of Fallujah, and then publicly hung from a bridge. Zuniga's post read: "Every death should be on the front page. Let the people see what war is like. This isn't an Xbox game. There are real repercussions to Bush's folly. That said, I feel nothing over the death of merceneries [sic]. They aren't in Iraq because of orders, or because they are there trying to help the people make Iraq a better place. They are there to wage war for profit. Screw them."
