Though if he does have a serious political opinion he would like to express, I'd imagine there are a lot of better ways to do it. That's what bumper stickers are for. I wish more people would buy into the concept of readers being responsible for what they believe as fact. Yes, there's a lot of inaccurate garbage out there. But as you referenced, blogs can be better than mainstream media because bloggers don't share the same limitations (politics, greed, etc). It's hilarious that someone from the US Attorney's office can accuse bloggers of "spin". It's like being called a douchebag by Bill O'Reilly.
